MELAKA: The Malayan sun bears at Melaka Zoo are real and have even given birth to two cubs, says a Melaka exco member.
State housing and local government, climate change and disaster management committee chairman Datuk Rais Yasin said there are now four sun bears at the menagerie but he was unsure whether these animals had previously stood up on their hind feet.
The video of the bear drew attention as spectators noticed its slender legs and folds of fur that made the creature appear as if it was a human in a bear costume. Rais said the state is committed to spearhead conservation and preservation of the Malayan tiger with only four of the animals available in the zoo.
“We must not forget that the Malayan tiger is a symbol of our nation’s Jata Negara and we can’t let it go extinct,”he said.
