Guys, this animal is the closest thing to Winnie the Pooh we'll ever get.
Nah xi xin ping is the closest thing to Winnie the Pooh
@@shafquatsadman5191 damn you beat me to this comment
Lol!!!
They actually defend themselves very aggressively
@@Apocalypse9696 this is the first thing that came in my mind after seeing this video
The bear made going up and down the tree look so easy!?! So beautiful
Those claws perfect fit
They are beautiful
Bears can even run up trees full speed it’s absolutely amazing!
Fun fact, in Indonesia we called this bear beruang madu which means honey bear.
In bangladesh,,we also called it modhu bhalluk in bengali.its means Honey bear
As Indonesian i confirm this
gak nanya
Bahasa inggris juga sama kali nyebutnya honey bear ato gak sun bear.
Orang Amerika nyebutnya winnie the pooh
Sun bears are bears of the genus Helarctos, there are three extant species of sun bear: the Indochinese Sun Bear (Helarctos indochinensis), the Sumatran Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus), and the Bornean Sun Bear (Helarctos euryspilus), they are the sole extant genus of the subtribe Helarctina, which is part of the tribe Ursini of the broader subfamily Ursinae (Long-Snouted Bears), the bornean sun bear is known for being the smallest living bear species.
Watching it sniff cured my depression
I'm also here because I'm sad.
Small, but a very strong species of bears, for their size.. I seen one open a coconut, like if it was a head of lettuce.... And they must be also the closest relative to the sloth bears...
No, they are more closely related to the American and asiatic black bears than they are to sloth bears.
And can get very aggressive. Dont be fooled by their cute looks.
sloth bear is a distant relative to the sun bear. Sloth bear's "sister taxa" is the branching point for Sun bears.

I love watching the bear crunch and chomp on the tree limb,it's so cute! Her nose while she's crunching is adorable
Sun Bears are so beautiful.
It is eerily primate like in its movements. If you watch closely you will see it rotating its arms and wrists like a human. A wonderful example of convergent evolution.
The sun bear is a great way to view the age of the Bornean rainforest. It’s so old that a bear - one of the largest mammals and largest predatory mammal on the planet - could find the time to adapt to the environment, grow to the full size of most other bear species’ cubs - and still be an apex predator. The jungles of this island are extraordinary. If we judge the rainforest by being the most complex ecosystem in the planet, then Borneo has to sit head and shoulders above the rest. Time has created an environment where niches are more specific and dependent on the niches of others than anywhere else on our special little world. We really must protect a place like this with all the night we can muster. Places like this harbor the bulk of our biodiversity and must be at the top of the list for conservation.
Really? Head and shoulders above the Amazon?
Or rather, God created it and it shows the wonder of who God is.
@@tomharrison1849religion is reduction
Nah the Amazon is both older and much more diverse.
How do you know it evolved from bigger bears and not from a smaller ancestor?
What an enchanted forest 😍
Where the men eat their enemies and the rivers are also the sewers.
@@samsonsoturian6013 Dayak people *cut the heads off their enemies. Also helped hunt communists on the mainland. Whose heads we cut off 🤪
@@samsonsoturian6013 all rivers are sewers if you put some thought into it
@@dv9239 not if you treat the sewage
In 1950s the entire island of Borneo was covered in such a forest. Now, only 30% remains, being displaced by endless palm oil plantations.
Omgaud what a cute bear, sliding down the tree....❤❤❤❤
This tiiny cuute little bear could still probably tear you to pieces
Not could, would 😬
@@sycofya1677 No it’s could. For example it wouldn’t attack me. It could tear me up, but it wouldn’t attack me
@@NemohHoes it wouldn't attack you, it would just start eating you alive lol
@@sycofya1677 No I can communicate with all animals, through the eyes. I can simply give it the “don’t you come taking no bite out of me” look
@@NemohHoes okay🥴
Once again we learn: Big does not always mean good. Just make the best from what you have.
I have to say I did not expect that great job little bear
Olha que lindo ...Que grandes acobracias para chegar ao topo!! O mel no topo da árvore... O urso no meio do melado e abelhas ...a forma como desliza é incrível!! São um espanto...
As a kid I helped the zookeepers at the Audubon zoo capture an escaped sun bear it climbed up a tree and I followed it and knocked it out the tree into a net. They are not really mean animals, it just ran away to be naughty it didn’t wanna hurt anybody
I saw them on my back yard. My home close to the forest)))
Such a beautiful creature! I wonder if we still can see this animal in the next 50 years.
I can't believe how hard it is for wild animals to find enough food to eat and the physical effort required. I drive to the store and buy food. Every day, I look up and see a Turkey Vulture or a hawk circling and think, "OMG. I'd be dead in a week if I had to even grow my food, never mind fly around for days looking for something to murder." What a unique creature that bear is.
Fantastic comment. We owe them respect.
Typical woman. At least you're honest.
I want to hug it
Have you seen the claws?
@@rosamdelgado9991 have you seen mine?
Beautiful creatures
Oh yes, murder machines are always a thing of beauty.
@@samsonsoturian6013 Sun bears aren't murder machines. They attack least people out of any bear species. What will you call humans then who not only destroy wildlife but also kill their own kind for greed.
@@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457 This goon doesn't realize bears will eat animals while they're still alive.
@@samsonsoturian6013 this bear only eats bugs and is small whacth the actual vid
@@yusufcanbaz8194 Even deer will eat small mammals that come their way. This omnivorous bear would totally eat your cat.
It’s the Drop Bear! (For those who don’t know, Drop Bears are mythical carnivorous marsupials that are thought to sit in trees and suddenly pounce down on their victims below.)
Thank you for the content and especially for removing that weird sound in the outro!
amazing capture
Feels like it would make more since if Winnie the Pooh was a Sun Bear instead of a Black Bear now. Could even explain the color
O WoW tearing tree and climbing tree is so beautiful!
It may be the smallest, but if this is the bear I think it is, its super aggressive because its half blind. Snort up them ants little bear. I love bears, but I wouldnt want to get too close to one.
Indeed despite being the smallest bear still is a big animal that can cause serious injuries due sharp teeth and claws
@@luluguilherme8908 Im happy that you know :) My friend.
If they want to they can tear apart anyone
@@lennarthagen3638 not me
@@KapteinFruit and you think the REST OF US would prefer to go walk up to one??? Your comment is asinine
Fun fact: Sun bears spend more time in the trees than any other bear. They also build nests like orangutans to sleep in every night.
how adorable
This is an awesome example of convergent evolution. Very sloth/ape like.
Very cool excursion. Very interesting!
superb camera work
Wonderful.
Hey Boo Boo, get away from that picnic basket
Look at her go! Climb those trees!!
"...more monkey than bear..." Oh, how sweet!
Great video
I want to see how the cordycep video was filmed! Please
Look at the claws,how massive and sharp.
Sooooo cute!
So beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
She is a beautiful little sun bear.
That’s so badass
Adorable bears alwayz
✝️🎠🕊🐻✝️
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahh.
Amazing
This the same forest with the smallest cat??
Owhh wow....
Nice kitty 🐈
She is so cute
"Guided by her keen sense of smell..."
Yeah, & a thousand buzzing Bees 🤣
40 METERS ABOVE HER. her sense of smell far outweighs her sense of smell in this case bozo
1:16- & I thought my toe nails were long😂 holy
Does anyone else like but mostly hate the foley sound fx they add?
Sehr schön 🤠
I love that bear with all my heart.
You know there super aggressive right?
My favorite species of bear.
Small but mighty!! This bear is still a problem! Lol
I like this video
Imagine this thing evolving to the point of being able to full on swing from tree to tree
Give it a few million years. I think they are the closest thing to primates.
Ajmo braco sacuvati planetu
Anteater + Monkey + Bear = This
El oso és un animal muy esperto.
Sun bears though small have big teeth and claws. Tough little bear
She's cute I love her
cool
I love Pooh bear 🐻. That's the closest to it .
They're cute.
I didn't know there were bears in Borneo. Thank you so much for this video. ☺️☺️☺️
@BBCEarth ¿did you film at Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCS), founded by Dr. Wong, in Sepilok area of Sabah, Borneo Malaysia?
and yet he can still beat me in a wrestle
Monke bear
It’s crazy watching videos of animals that won’t be around in 10 years because humans destroy everything.
I always have to look up metric conversions for American understanding of size.
Imagine being a bear getting a splinter on your tongue…
What she lacks in largeness, she makes up in flexibility.
Yogi would be so proud
This is not the same without David Attenborough
တကယ်မိုက်တယ်။
A cross between a monkey and sloth came to mind.
actually the smallest bear in the world is the gummy bear
Early bears ancestors were smaller and mostly lived up in the trees , looked actually a lot I'd think like the present days more nocturnal Binturong. I've yet to check on the link in this family tree , but to my eyes I do seem to see , yes ?
Love Bears all .
Love Sun bears , very beary much !
Amazing, just loved it
Hey Everybody, it's Spidey-Bear!
Lol imagine getting chased by this little bear .😂😂😂
They are the smallest bear species, but actually not that small compared to people. Males can weigh up to 68 kg (150 lbs). Really don't think you'd wanna tangle with one.
Bear ASMR 1:10
This is in fact a real sunbear not a man in a bear suit
Makes me think bears and raccoons (or their relatives) are more closely related. This bear acts like a tailless version of an olingo.
Camera 📷 Is Everywhere 😁
the smallest bear is the gummy bear
This video is the bear minimum
🤩
We see Banjo in his natural habitat…
Is it a new show..?
Never judge a book by its cover 💯
The bear like Winnie The Pooh who loves honey not like the three bears in Goldilocks and the three bears 🐻🍯
Sumatra island
😮👍
Happy Friday Everyone from Tacoma Washington!( Stay Safe and warm )
👍
Wow! Gorgeous forest, from Borneo, I wish I could visit.
Forget visit, why not live there?!
