Sun Bear

The smallest, and possibly most intelligent, of true bears, sun bears weigh only 3d30+55 pounds. They avoid humans, and seldom attack unless injured, threatened, or defending cubs. They spend more of their time in trees than other bears, and are excellent climbers. Because of their relatively gentle nature, sun bears have sometimes been kept as pets. Their intelligence allows them a wide range of expression, and sun bears can demonstrate reasoning skills analogous to those of great apes.
