Personality: Ah Bui has grown into a very beautiful and confident bear. Ah Bui is gentle, easy-going, an excellent climber and spends most of her time just relaxing and enjoying the view from the forest canopy. Sometimes she appears to be basking in the sun on a fallen decayed tree, absorbing the warmth of the sun’s rays. She is more than happy to chill out and can often be found sitting as she absorbs her surroundings. Ah Bui is a friendly but also independent bear, and has excellent foraging and climbing skills. She has also been found to build a tree nest in the tree canopy. She has a “sleepy character” which reflects in her feminine nature. Ah Bui likes to stay with Fulung. She always takes the initiative to play fight with him. Ah Bui likes dog biscuits and enjoys food enrichments like coconut and sugar cane while lying on her back, holding her food with her legs flailing in the air. When it’s time to go out into the forest enclosure, she usually takes her time eating all the food she stumbles upon before heading out.​​
