Zoo offers the public a peek at endangered sun bears rescued from illegal wildlife trade
Fox News
Perth Zoo in South Perth, Australia, offered the public a rare inside view of sun bears Jamran and Bopha during the endangered animals' recent health checkups.
Sun bears are native to tropical forests in Southeast Asia and there are two subspecies — the Malayan sun bear and the Bornean sun bear — that vary in size. Cortney Moore is an associate lifestyle writer/producer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent on Twitter at @CortneyMoore716.
While the bears have been with the Perth Zoo for 15 years, the zoo noted that "regular medical checks" have helped them ensure that Jamran and Bopha are in "tip-top shape," after the years the two bears spent as "victims of the illegal wildlife trade."
