Malayan Sun Bear: Meet the Honey-sucking, Termite-loving Tiniest Bear in the World

Malayan Sun Bear

Berlin, GERMANY: Little sun bear "Ernst" sleeps on a branch 12 April 2007 in his enclosure at the Zoologischer Garten zoo in Berlin. "Ernst" lives next to the enclosure where Berlin's new star, polar bear cub "Knut", is presented to the public twice daily, and has nearly the same age as "Knut". But whereas visitors flock to Berlin zoo to get a glimpse of "Knut" who survived rejection by his mother and who has become a marketing phenomenon in Germany, "Ernst" draws attention of few visitors only.
