The Malayan Sun Bear can be found in the Southeast Asian tropical rainforests (including tropical evergreen rainforest, montane forest and swamp habitat). The climate is humid all year round and rains at times. The rainforests are homes to many wildlife and fauna species, making it known for it’s biodiversity. The Sun bears aid in maintaining the healthy forest ecosystem by dispersing the seeds, keeping down pest numbers by consuming them, and ‘engineering’ trees by using their claws to break decaying logs and create holes in trees (to consume termite).
