Sun Bear Rehabilitation | Rescued Sun Bears on the Road of Recovery | BSBCC

This video highlight two little bears, Kipaku and Itam. Rescued sun bears on the road to recovery. Meet more bears here: https://www.bsbcc.org.my/meet-our-bea...

A five-month-old male bear cub, Kipaku, was discovered alone in the forest fire area and kept for the past three months by a local family. He was previously fed milk, rice, and fried fish.

Kipaku was sent to the BSBCC on 18th July 2020. A seven-month-old- female bear cub, Itam, was found in an orchard with dog bite wounds on her body and appeared weak.

The person decided to bring her back and cared for her wounds for 21 days before handing her over to Sabah Wildlife Department.

Spending years in captivity and being unable to express any natural behaviours cause the cubs emotionally traumatized or too habituated with humans.

During this period of care, Itam and Kipaku took a brave step and trusted on their new journey. They adapted well to their new environment.

On 30th July 2020, they have met each other for the first time. They spend a great deal of their time together and enjoy the various enrichment given by their keepers.

It is so uplifting to see that they can forget their past, reminding us how wild they should be. We are happy that they are now safe and grow in confidence.

If a sun bear is not allowed to learn these forest skills, its chances of survival in the forest are slim without the help of a rehabilitation programme. Please do not keep sun bear as a pet! Shows some love for Little Kipaku and Itam by sharing their stories! #SunBear #BorneanSunBear #BSBCC #BorneanSunBearConservationCentre #SunBearRehabilitation #RescuedSunBear
