At first glance, bears don’t look like very good climbers. But while it’s true that most bears feel at home on the ground, their bulky frames actually hide strong, well-coordinated muscles that can take them from ground-level to the tops of trees in no time flat!
Wang Cai, the bear in the video, and his sister Holly (not featured in the video) are two moon bears who were rescued by Animals Asia after being kept as pets in Yinbin, China. Apparently, local villagers had been caring for the cubs for two years after they were found in the wild with no mother, but when the bears grew larger, the local forestry department retrieved them and brought them to a shelter.
Wang Cai and Holly are very lucky, as moon bears have been driven to endangered status due to poaching and the rampant bear bile trade. Luckily, kind people like those at Animals Asia are taking action before it is too late! To learn more about bear bile and the animals who are harmed by this trade, check out Animals Asia’s website.
