Footage of a man feeding a tiny bear cub at a sanctuary
- 8 years ago
Adorable footage of a moon bear cub being cared for at a bear sanctuary in Cambodia.
The video, filmed in January this year, shows the tiny bear drinking from a milk bottle.
The filmer later wrote online: "A rescued Moon bear cub cared for by Free the Bears in Cambodia weighed just 2.8kg when it arrived at the sanctuary.
"It's mother was likely poached before the cub was confiscated by the authorities."
"The charity's Cambodian 'bear dad' Mr. Heng, an expert in cub care, created a comfortable bed for the cute little cub in a temperature controlled quarantine area, but she was more interested in sleeping in the storage shelf," he continued.
"After much coaxing, they gave up and let her relax, but that evening she began to enjoy her new bed until she is big enough to move into their beautiful cub enclosures."
