Adopt the Sun Bear

Thank you for supporting Perth Zoo with a symbolic adoption of 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 south-east Asia, assisting protection and conservation activity in the wild.

Fun Fact: Sun Bears have a very long tongue that can protrude up to 25cm! Read more about the Sun Bear here
