your very correct in bringing up the often overlooked issue of animal compatibility zooish. this is yet another reason why i am so for zoos to get over their "keeping-animals-in-pairs" complex and start holing small groups of all species social or not (obviously not all kept in the one enclosure).

Sun Bears
Old 02-03-2007

Hey guys, when I was at Taronga, nearly three years ago now I was working with the sun bears and the problem was definately not with the female, every morning at half six the first thing staff would do was go through the footage they record of the sun bears. while I was there the problem was with the male. I remember watching footage of the female becoming very... horny... climbing up the bars pacing very fast. they started to mate then the male lost inbterest and the female remained in place... hmm... and finished herself, she didi this for quite some time and it happened nearly every nioght... boy does sun bear #### stink. and they manage to get it absolutely everywhere...
