RESCUE BEAR 9

JELITA

AGE : 14 Years Old

Meaning of Name: Beautiful (Malay)
 
History: She came from Lok Kawi Wildlife Zoo in June 2007 together with Cerah.
 
Personality:  Jelita is well-known as the most acrobatic female at the centre. She can often be found hanging upside-down, legs flailing in the air, with her head arched way back so she can flash you a big healthy grin. Jelita does not mind the camera. She has a beautiful, smooth fur coat and beautiful eyes. The sunny patch on her chest delicately curves up at the corner in two streaks as if to resemble two friendly fingers folded into a peace-sign. Jelita’s playful energy is certainly filled with loving affection and curiosity. In the forest, she will take the lead in the group where Cerah will follow her roaming, foraging, climbing canopy trees and building a sleeping nest together. She loves to dig in the ground for invertebrates to snack on. She is a friendly bear with a free spirit. A few warning growls would not stop her from tagging along and sneakily following the other adult female bears around whom she shares a forest enclosure with. She does not care if her presence annoys the other ladies.

Identifying Mark or trait: Jelita’s chest mark splits like a wishbone on her right side.

ADOPTION: Jelita is available for MY BEAR adoption.
