robenroute Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Stumbled across this vid: some sort of tree bear? I've asked some people, but none of them had any clue. To me, it looks like some sort of tree bear. But then again, it seems to have an opposable thumb, or something similar. Anybody a clue? Poor thing, it looks scared as hell...

Tywais Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 In the YouTube comments someone stated Helarctos Malayanus, or Malaysian Sun Bear. Sad state he is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robenroute Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thanks Tywais. If that is indeed a Malayan sun bear, it is in a pretty sorry state indeed. Must have been kept for quite some time to lose its fur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoilSpoil Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Not an animal you want to encounter while wondering in the National Parks. They can be highly aggressive and attack without provocation. It's a pit bull on steroids. They look so cute, but be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumgranosalum Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Take a look at this............ The people who have let these animals get into this state are to me some of the lowest scum in the world....... https://m.facebook.com/WildlifeFriendsFoundation/albums/10152620085067657/?_ft_&__tn__=C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post katana Posted April 21, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2015 The story was in Tharath a couple of a days ago.Apparently it's a Honey Bear and was captured in Borneo. When villagers at the local palm oil plantation first saw it in January , they attacked it with sticks, not realising what it was, due to it having lost its hair.Word of the strange creature spread and it was recaptured on 2nd April and is now receiving veterinary care in a wildlife sanctuary in Malaysia. Its health has improved, but they've yet been unable to restore its hair or find out what caused the hair loss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably eating GM stuff and pesticides that are rife in the palm oil business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok they aren't speaking thai but some sort of malay dialect or maybe native language in borneo since it doesn't sound familiar to me and why are all the comments in thai since borneo is an island that is part of malaysia, indonesia and brunei.
