The bear made going up and down the tree look so easy!?! So beautiful

Guys, this animal is the closest thing to Winnie the Pooh we'll ever get.

I love watching the bear crunch and chomp on the tree limb,it's so cute! Her nose while she's crunching is adorable

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.

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.

Fun fact, in Indonesia we called this bear beruang madu which means honey bear.

Watching it sniff cured my depression

Sun Bears are so beautiful.

This tiiny cuute little bear could still probably tear you to pieces

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...

What an enchanted forest 😍

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.

Omgaud what a cute bear, sliding down the tree....❤❤❤❤

I have to say I did not expect that great job little bear

I want to hug it

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

Once again we learn: Big does not always mean good. Just make the best from what you have.

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.

This is an awesome example of convergent evolution. Very sloth/ape like.

Beautiful creatures

I saw them on my back yard. My home close to the forest)))

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.)

My favorite islands that are hotspots for biodiversity are Madagascar where lemurs, tenrecs, chameleons and fossas live, the Galapagos Islands where giant tortoises, finches, marine iguanas, sea lions and sally lightfoot crabs live and now the Bornean Sun Bear in Borneo's tropical rainforests.

Such a beautiful creature! I wonder if we still can see this animal in the next 50 years.

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...

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

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.

Look at the claws,how massive and sharp.

Look at her go! Climb those trees!!

Hey Boo Boo, get away from that picnic basket

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.

"...more monkey than bear..." Oh, how sweet!

"Guided by her keen sense of smell..." Yeah, & a thousand buzzing Bees 🤣

O WoW tearing tree and climbing tree is so beautiful!

how adorable

Thank you for the content and especially for removing that weird sound in the outro!

I want to see how the cordycep video was filmed! Please

She is a beautiful little sun bear.

amazing capture

I love that bear with all my heart.

So beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I love Pooh bear 🐻. That's the closest to it .

Sun bears though small have big teeth and claws. Tough little bear

Life action Winnie the Pooh movie looks good❤

1:16- & I thought my toe nails were long😂 holy

Adorable bears alwayz ✝️🎠🕊🐻✝️

Very cool excursion. Very interesting!

Does anyone else like but mostly hate the foley sound fx they add?

Imagine this thing evolving to the point of being able to full on swing from tree to tree

This the same forest with the smallest cat??

Monke bear

Anteater + Monkey + Bear = This

superb camera work

Great video

Small but mighty!! This bear is still a problem! Lol

Ajmo braco sacuvati planetu

What she lacks in largeness, she makes up in flexibility.

It’s crazy watching videos of animals that won’t be around in 10 years because humans destroy everything.

Owhh wow....

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 !

She is so cute

They're cute.

Wonderful.

Imagine being a bear getting a splinter on your tongue…

actually the smallest bear in the world is the gummy bear

Wow! Gorgeous forest, from Borneo, I wish I could visit.

This is not the same without David Attenborough

Happy Friday Everyone from Tacoma Washington!( Stay Safe and warm )

That’s so badass

Bear ASMR 1:10

سبحان من خلقك وصورك

My favorite species of bear.

Nice kitty 🐈

@BBCEarth ¿did you film at Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCS), founded by Dr. Wong, in Sepilok area of Sabah, Borneo Malaysia?

I didn't know there were bears in Borneo. Thank you so much for this video. ☺️☺️☺️

El oso és un animal muy esperto.

Sooooo cute!

A cross between a monkey and sloth came to mind.

She's cute I love her

and yet he can still beat me in a wrestle

Hey Everybody, it's Spidey-Bear!

Borneo and the other countries of Southeast Asian region are cutting their rainforests down indiscriminately! The government is turning its head to this. This animal and others will be wiped out before long! :(

The bear like Winnie The Pooh who loves honey not like the three bears in Goldilocks and the three bears 🐻🍯

I'm just here doing research on if the Sun Bear in a Chinese zoo is real or not

2:39

Yogi would be so proud

This is in fact a real sunbear not a man in a bear suit

Lol imagine getting chased by this little bear .😂😂😂

sun bears are animals

Sehr schön 🤠

Kalau ikut lomba panjat pinang pasti menang terus deh ini beruangnya

This video is the bear minimum

I always have to look up metric conversions for American understanding of size.

Never judge a book by its cover 💯

Amazing

the smallest bear is the gummy bear

We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events. In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system. It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will. Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high. Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry? Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts.

Funny how even the smallest bear in the workd will still f*€£ you up!!

We see Banjo in his natural habitat…

Makes me think bears and raccoons (or their relatives) are more closely related. This bear acts like a tailless version of an olingo.
