Sun bear

The sun bear is the smallest bear in the world, living in Southeast Asia's tropical forests. It's easily recognized by its sleek black coat and a bright golden patch on its chest, which looks like a little sun.

• Weighs between 25 to 65 kg — about as heavy as a large dog.
• Has extra-long, curved claws perfect for climbing trees and digging.
• Its short snout and small ears give it a uniquely round face.
