In this heartwarming and at times hard-hitting series, conservationist Giles Clark helps set up a bear rescue centre in South East Asia while rearing bear cubs of his own. Having previously raised endangered tigers and big cats in his family home, Giles travels to Laos in Asia, where sun and moon bears are under threat due to illegal bear bile farming. A pioneering wildlife rescue centre is being built, and Giles and his family move in next door to help. Alongside caring for a sun bear and two moon bear cubs at home, Giles rescues bears from all over the country, builds wild enclosures so liberated bears can live a natural life, and releases other rescued animals back to the wild. Will he manage to secure a free future for bears in Laos?

bold of you to assume they weren't already my favorite animal
exactly
Sumeet Agarwal 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
because they probably weren’t
@@Xgent You never know, Sun bears are the shit. Look at them!
SergeantRenegade ehhh they look like venom long tongue and black and white
It’s like a mix between a sloth and a bear. With a pinch of weasel curiosity. Adorable little weirdos ain’t they?
This is exactly what I was thinking. It's a mix of a sloth and a bear. Two of my favorite animals rolled into one amazing little being.
Untli you see a sloth bear the scariest bears you will ever see ...
I love the way that sun bears are so active and they look so cute and funny. We all need to take action right away to protect them from illegal poaching
@Paul Kryder lmao
I’m sorry but these things are not cute lol but I agree with everything else you said
Or, and hear me out...
We domesticate them.
Aww that was so cute it made me cry
You see the problem with that is, these animals don’t live in America. So as you can probably imagine there’s nothing me or you can do to save these bears, only the south East Asian governments can and animal protection agencies can make that happen
In the thumbnail I thought the bear had a swan-like neck and I was really confused
Oh god same. my brain had a difficult time parsing the image and pretty much gave up and said “ok, flamingo bear”
same, i was like "that some weird ass looking snake"
Oh gosh, now that I read this comment I see it...
Miss Uma 😭 lmao ur comment made me visualize it and I just started laughin. It looked like it’s just a bears head with two legs attached 😭
Anuradha Aravind wait what?
This bear looks like a human put on a bear costume and is pretending to be like a bear but is failing miserably.
😂😂😂
The bear gave me low key uncanny valley vibes.
Uhh no it doesn't
It's the closest thing to a real-life teddy bear anyways.
I assume your saying that the bear isn't even good at being a bear!? really?
Reason #15: They're people in bear costumes
*People with long ass tounges?*
Evolution MAX all sun bears are just Gene Simmons in disguise
“Who’s doing a very bad job acting nature”
That’s ignorant
@@kmadoom Yeah, who would believe that?
She looks like she'd say, in a neutral, but friendly voice: "Henlo."
I think she would say “henlo” in a respectful and kind manner
I think she would say AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
Saw the full documentary, these clips come from, genuinely entertaining. The BBC may not be everyone's cup of tea, but they make amazing natural history programs.
Was "cup of tea" supposed to be a british pun?😂
It's hard to resist such a derpy adorable face :3
@Handsome Squidward Da-ha!
Well they are also some of the most aggressive bears in the planet and regularly attack people
@Handsome Squidward your profile picture are ugly
@@Hola-kh2ky aight what crack you on?
@Mullerornis They really are 🥰
I was lucky enough to work at the zoo and I got to play with a Sun bear many times. Awesome!
I used to work at a zoo but we never had bears
Awww how adorable, my first time seeing it. It's sad that some people can be so cruel to harm a cute creature like that.
When the bear is with the guy it's so cute how it acts like a dog! 😉😂
Great facts, thanks for this video.
Bears and dogs are actually related to one another (alongside with seals (pinnipeds), they belong to the "dog-like" creatures within the Carnivoran order of mammals)!
@@dinohermann1887 no they are not
@@dinohermann1887 www.dailydogstuff.com/are-bears-related-to-dogs/#:~:text=Sorry%20to%20disappoint%20you%2C%20but,part%20of%20the%20Ursidae%20family.
@@GagandeepKSECE Actually they are. Ifninit's claim was that they are both within the "dog-like" creatures, which I assume he was referring to Caniformia. The very article you sent actually admits this, which is actually why I really dislike scientific articles from .coms especially. They use "headlies", by acting like the popular myth is "bears and dogs are super close" they are able to set that up as a strawman, and then act like they've debunked some popular myth. When in reality people like Infinit are right, they are 100% correct about the relationship between dogs, bears, and pinnipeds. All of them are part of Caniformia. When people are talking about the relation between those 3 animals, they are obviously talking about their common ancestor over 42 million years ago, something the article brings up too, which further proves that the article is just a straw man for the minority of people who believe dogs and bears are almost the same species, no, they're just part of the same subgrouping, and that's the common belief. Point is, try to trust only .gov and Wikipedia, unlike media, those websites don't make money off of how flashy a title is, so you don't get so many misleading titles like you do from mainstream media and internet articles. People just read the titles, and then make assumptions based off of it.
@@dinohermann1887 Yah it's really interesting to see the similarities between bears, seals, dogs, and even raccoons.
Awe, I love that her name Is MARY! You're right, they are my new favorite animal!
We must protect these sun bears at all cost.
You forgot one: They bark. They sound just like dogs! 💕
I came here from the “fake bear” at the Chinese zoo haha! Sun bears are so adorable ❤
Sun Bears are so beautiful. I lovre them They along with other Bears and animals need protecting and a safe haven for horrific animal abuse. Brst Wishes💜
Move away pandas sun bears are the cutest
in my country the bear is protected by law because its population is already endangered
That's good that they protect the bears 😁
AES Gogreen Where I am our state bear is already extinct.
@@m4sherman926 that's sad..
@@m4sherman926 May I have your nationality? I'm Japanese.
前川次郎 I am from California and I am American. The California Grizzly bear went extinct in 1924.
Reason they’re called “sun bears” is because they brighten up your day ❤❤❤
I can see half of the population seeing this bear as their new favorite animal.
Who came here after the news of the sun bear in China on being a costume?
The fact the bear is from South-East-Asia is indeed a great reason to make this my new favourite animal.
8. Naked foot soles??? SIGN ME UP
I dont need 14 reasons to like sun bears I only have one and that's cause I love nature and the wildlife 😁😁😁👏
First Time I ever heard of a sun bear they have really cool tongues.
Yes, Sun bears are my new favorite animal!
*Right* 👌👍
👌👍
Why the heck would somebody want a sun bear gallbladder?
Because they belive in Traditional Chinese Medicine is my best guess.
Some those bullshit placebo medicine that run for centuries.
China just being China
Who else but China
Thanks I was wondering too
What a happy little bear. We don’t deserve them.😢❤
We do they do not deserve to die though
Cute, cuddly, and just as homicidal as any other bear... nature is so bipolar🥲
OMG! Cutness overload!! so so sweet!! I LOVE all bears ...would never play favourites. They are all so unique and each is an individual no matter the species...How, or how can we restore their lost forests and protect the once still standing?? It needs strong laws, and strong governments which have to be ruthless and determine to protection of their National treasures...they belong to all of the humanity!....
These bears are cute, but the gibbon is still my spirit animal. Lol.
Omg she is adorable!!! I would love the chance to get close to one of these amazing animals !!!!
Its dangerous 😐
Don’t do that plz
I doubt Angela meant to get up so close as to touch them. It'd be nearly impossible to do that, regardelss, as they're skittish of humans and more often up in trees than the ground. Besides, there aren't so many of them in the wild, anyway.
Free the Bears (which is where much of this footage is from) does have a volunteer program, though you'd have to pay your way there (post-COVID-19) at the least.
@@ascetic3312 thanks for the info ! Yea I just want to be close enough to see them in person not to touch them.
Come to BSBCC in Sabah, Malaysia! You can also choose to volunteer there 😄
I love that I am 49 years old, and am still discovering new animals.😊🤜❤️🇨🇦
i love animals so much look how cute it is🥺
And I thought I knew about every animal already... my first viewing of the Sun Bear, and as to be expected..., ❤ adorable. Perfect music too.
when did god release this update? a bear that makes NESTS
It was when he showed them to one of the angels. They said that all these bears were the same so God decided to make sun bears 92% bear and 8% bird. JK.
Hmmm seeing as god doesn't exist, never. They were here well before you and i were born. There's something called evolution.
DanDeMan Actually He dose.
@@iCore7GamingLord Spaghetti tells me to tell you he pretended not to hear that
@@michaeljenner2325 just because your magical bible book says so, doesn't mean it's true. Use your brain my dude.
My first time hearing about them, they’re so cute! I wanna hug one 🥰
we gotta save these bears😭 they’re endangered, and y’all are hating on me i- 🤨 (also don’t get why people are telling me to stop talking about it, it’s helping awareness, sorry i care for our planet and animals)
k get on it
@@overlyhuman everybody likes to make meaningless statements without actually acting. Talk is cheap. Change starts with you.
@@tonyg490 100%
theyre in an enclusure they look pretty safe
blob they’re endangered.. i’m not talking about the cage
Thank you, BBC Earth. I have found my spirit animal.
How could someone find it in there heart to hunt such a beautiful animal 😢
These “people” who hurt these innocent animals, are not people but demons without a heart.
Capitalism and greed.
Heartless people
Ahwww she is so adorable! We need to protect these bears.
Cute rare animal: exists
Asia: I’m about to end this species whole existence.
They really be doin that I can tell ya I’m from Southeast 😭
@Nish no ?
@@nish8435 Good thing I'm from Canada...
@@nish8435 I honestly have no idea what you're attempting to say lol
I loved the Sun Bear since I was a child.
Anyone here bc on Angela the Chinese bear
Thanks for this video, really enjoyed learning about these wonderful bears ☺️
Hey guys
Greetings from Antarctica...
Seattle here. What are you doing way out there?
Greetings from Cleveland, Ohio! Antarctica huh? That wouldn't have been my choice but hey too each his own😊! I hope you and your family are safe!
Hello from LA!
Greetings from the moon!
Wow, with regards from South Africa.
Lol, no wonder they sold so much. Too cute. Hope they recover their habitat again.
"Sun Bear" in Thailand is called "dog bear" (direct translation) because their faces and fur look similar to dogs!!!
1:45. I love it! He was like: "Hi! Just Chillin."😂😂😂
Beautiful angels, sending so much love and prayers to them for safety!!!
I love how they look like a child's drawing of a bear
They’re so cute and tiny. I want one 😭
You can't have one they don't belong to you
These are one of southeast asias native animals that are endangered alongside with tigers elephants panthers and deers. I hope they protect them well
there's two in my town. so cute
If you get the chance visit the sanctuary, it’s a wonderful place with excellent staff.
Absolutely joyous seeing a very happy Mary and her friends enjoying themselves plus lots of moon bears that have been rescued and have now got a lot better life.
Very informative... really enjoyed the information about what sets them apart from other bears 🐻🌟
Sun Bears are my favorite animals!!
The video forgot to mention, that they are also the most aggressive species of bears known to attack humans unprovoked and not much is known about them cause they're that rare.
Bears of all kinds are so great. I didn't know much about these guys before this video but they look awesome. Man I hope we don't lose them. That would be unbearable.
They’re so precious 💙
The last defendant of the short face bears legitimate super predators has been reduced to this lol
You just made my day with this adorable animal.
I have not heard about these beautiful animals.
Both interesting and cute...🐻
That ain't no bear. That's a large, relaxed, tailless squirrel.
They do "make nests in trees" after all.
They had me at naked foot soles
I thought the thumbnail was fake XD.
It looked like it had a really long neck.
in no moment in this entire video i even entertained the idea of having this as my favorite animal. it doesn't even make to the top 50, if i had one.
❤️Lion is in my favourites.❤️
Reason n.15: just look at them, they're so cute and funny looking.
It's all fun and games until it eats you alive
These things are no bigger than golden retrievers. They probably won’t even bother to eat you
Such an adorable little thing, kinda like a panda wouldn't you agree
I never heard of these bears until I watched this video now I want one as a pet :)
I love their dopey smiles.
Did BBC Earth comment on my new video???
Let's exchange su..b
Thanks BBC.
Humans can be disgusting. Imagine depriving thee bears of life and liberty.
Sun Bears are so cute. 🥺
Come on who do you want to fool ?? Everybody knows these are humans in a costume.
Cringe joke.
I love how i go to search "sun bears being weird" and i immediately see it's the most popular search for sun bears
Their face is like photoshopped
Stinkin cute. I love the markings on the bears neck. Thank you for sharing and saving. 🐻
On the Thumbnail it looked like he had a very slim long neck.
Now, I am disappointed
That’s kinda sad if you think I looked like that lol 😂
I can't unsee that now and I can't stop laughing.
So cute, so strong
Everyone's attention! Day after day we people destroy nature, and somewhere far want to be in nature, not who love to admire nature, but the judge is that, every day, a lot of animals die from the hand of man 🥺
this implies the existence of a moon bear, and i greatly desire to see one
“Top 14 reasons this is your new favorite
#1 longest tongue”
Hm. Why is that a good reason? Is someone lonely?
“#2 they’re small. 10 x smaller than a polar bear”
I didn’t even know polar bears were small.
Are you kidding?
What a remarkable person.
Have you any word about the two that were stolen?
Thank you, for this vid, again.
Anyone remember the Global Extinction of the White Rhino?
Extinction is a horrid thing to pass down to our future generations, the children, the grandchildren... and for generations to come... 😥
On our watch... ugh!
They were moon bears, not sun bears. I see why you'd confuse them though.
@@masahirosakurai64
My comment wasn't about a particular species, whether it be bear, rhinos, giraffes, Salmon, Orca Whales, Beavers, the Eagle, etc.
It was a statement/comment about our generation, our kids and grandchildren... long after we are dead and gone and what THEY will be left with under our watch.
What will they all be left with?
Ugh! Your comment to me was, at best, inappropriate.
You're welcome.
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 I had an argument with an American the other day on youtube about how do people enjoy hunting for 'sport & recreation', especially endangered animals. She never answered my question but some of the responses were completely farcical. These included that unless a rubbish shot, a shot to kill meant it was ok to hunt, that it's more humane & animal friendly to shoot to kill an animal for sport than send them to slaughter. I could only criticize people who enjoy hunting if I were a vegan (!), I was only A GIRL & didn't know any better & should wait till I'd grown up before commenting on hunting or extinction (as I pointed out, I'm not a girl at 33 & if I did as she said & sat on my backside doing or saying nothing, than Oops! Too late! A species gone forever. My reply really got up her nose!)! The really mind boggling response I got was that she grew up in a hunting family & would regularly hunt. One day her dad killed a snow leopard & she was devastated by the killing of this creature for fun, that they wouldn't eat (as they did everything else) as it was only a trophy. That somehow meant she cared about animals & the threat of extinction!! It would be funny if not so serious.
AWWW HER WRIGGLY NOSE
Humans won’t stop until we’ve fully destroyed this planet beyond any kind of repair.
Some humans yes,but not all humans are cowardly scum who only care about money and profit..they don't care if they destroy the planet and everything on it,as long as they have what they want..but there are humans who are like the ones that work at animal sanctuaries like that one,and they will be the ones that help save this planet 😊
Sunshine MishasMommy
And they are the humans that acknowledge our impact we have on the world and are dedicating their lives to try to teach the rest of us the impact we do and I encourage all of them tremendously
Oh I just want to hug him❤️
Praise the Sun Bear!
Why am I now just learning that these adorable creatures exist?
I wanna hug 3 at a time so tight😍
"Their teeth are the same size as polar bears", said the narrator as the polar bears watching all laughed hysterically.
"Their name comes from the sun shaped patch on their chests"
Of course! I can see the resemblance to the familiar glowing toilet seat we see in the sky every day!
you're telling me this cant live in my house rent free and give me a curious George like life
A smaller bear which behaves more like a koala than a bear.. Nature's perfect creation
Saw them in Chinese zoo. They waved to me!
tears of happiness rn
Make no mistake, they can still be terrifying and are still larger than adult humans. I saw one in the wild in Borneo, and these guys can roar really loudly
