Many many many years ago, as a young child I visited a zoo that had 3 of these bears but they were referred to as the Sun Bear. I guess they've been demoted to "moon" status now, huh? Anyway, I love them and they are one of my favorite bears! They are so personable.

Lol as tempting as it looks to tickle his tummy or give him a hug I will pass!! Yes it seems these attacks on humans has much to do with our lack of knowledge on how best to respond and to be prepared.. In Romania they have the highest density of bears due to the once popular pastime of shooting them for fun.. Thanks for the image and great info..
