In english this animal is called sun bear. But I also write honey bear because in my language it is called beruang madu which literally means honey bear. Because it loves eating honey Beruang is bear Madu is honey This bear live in Sumatra island, Borneo island and Malay peninsula.

never heard of the honey bear before. I'd only heard of one of my top ten animals which is the honey badger
