Thank you for your caring decision to adopt the Sun Bear, the smallest member of the bear family.

This vulnerable mammal from Asia is threatened by habitat destruction and poaching for food. Perth Zoo is working with international partners to fund research programs for Sun Bears in Southeast Asia, assisting protection and conservation activity in the wild.

Your symbolic adoption will provide essential support to help take care of the Sun Bears at Perth Zoo and protect threatened species from Australia and around the world.

Fun Fact: Sun Bears have a very long tongue that can protrude up
to 25cm!

Please select your chosen adoption level to start your 12-month support of this tropical and lowland forest dwelling species today.
