Sun bear cub released into wild after being caught in snare

ALOR SETAR: A sun bear cub found in a homemade snare in an oil palm plantation in Padang Terap, some 50km from here, has been released back into the wild.
Kedah Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) director Jamalun Nasir Ibrahim said the bear was rescued from the trap on Saturday evening (July 10) and released into its natural habitat at around 9am on Sunday (July 11).
"The rescued sun bear is a cub aged about three to four years," he told the media after the bear's release.
"It did not sustain any injuries and was not trapped for too long. The bear can survive on its own now, and is not dependent on its mother," he said.
