A Bear A Day - 3

B is for bear on.

Another day, another bear.

Today's bear is a sun bear. It was a difficult search for an adorable baby sun bear. Sun bears are known for their disgustingly long tongues, low immunities and hideous babies. One of the sun bears in the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago has been sick for 5 years now. After having jaw surgery to accommodate his abnormally long tongue (even for a sun bear), he has never bounced back. But here's a bouncy baby sun bear who seems to be doing just fine, for now. Barnaby (below) is an exception to the ugly baby sun bear rule as he is actually bearable to look at. As long as he keeps his mouth shut he might make it in this competition. Let's hope he doesn't get sick. Hang in there, Barnaby.
