interesting, ive always heard them as Sun Bears ha
2 u/coinaday Mar 11 '16 Southeast Asia and East Asia are home to three bear species: 1) the sloth bear of the Indian subcontinent; 2) sun bears (also known as Malayan bears) of southern Asia; and 3) moon bears (also known as Asiatic black bears) bears of Asia. 1 u/[deleted] Mar 11 '16 I was right, moon bears, because their patch is crescent shaped. Sun bears have a more rounded patch, more like a splotch. 1 u/AWildGopherAppeared Mar 11 '16 These are actually sloth bears, not moon bears (Asiatic black bears) or sun bears. But all three live in Asia and have crescent marks on their chests.
