PERSONALITY: Chin is excellent at foraging for insects and invertebrates. She loves to practice her foraging skills and is slowly developing to be a more independent bear. Chin is finding more and more activities to enjoy every day! Chin loves rolling, rubbing or basking in the sun on logs, showing her beautiful yellow crescent chest mark! She is mischievous, and can be entertained very easily with just a simple enrichment like decayed wood and dry leaves. These can simply make her day. She loves to examine and tear enrichment into pieces, such as dead logs and coconuts, and is a big fan of ginger leaves! Chin’s best pal is Amaco, the oldest male bear. They get on really well and love to gentle wrestle together.
