RESCUE BEAR 6
LINGGAM
AGE : 18 Years Old
MEANING OF NAME: God Sivan (Hindu)
HISTORY: Linggam came to Sepilok as a cub (only 3.5kg) in August 2004 after being found at a logging camp at Kampung Pinangah. Loggers claimed that he was found alone. He was taken into the care of Mr. Awang who then gave him to the Sabah Wildlife Department. He was sent to Sepilok and was later transferred to the Lok Kawi Zoo near Kota Kinabalu. He came back to BSBCC Sepilok in July 2010. It took Linggam a while before he finally stepped outside of the indoor enclosure. He is now enjoying his back yard every day at the centre.
PERSONALITY: Linggam is best known as the prince of bears in the bear house who grabs the hearts of many (people and bears). He is a very attractive bear with big brown eyes and a gentle face. Sometimes, it is the simplest enrichment that makes a difference in the life of Linggam! He is cheeky at times as he likes to play pretend.
He is not a ‘morning bear’ as he is often sleepy in the morning, especially when it is a gloomy day out. You can often find him sleeping in the basket. He does not mind water and likes to splash water out of his water bowl. When it is eating time, Linggam does not like to be kept waiting and has a habit of gathering a bunch of his food, placing it at the back of his den before gobbling it up. On 28 November 2019, Linggam finally had new best female pals (Susie, Kuamut, Cerah, Jelita and Manis). He has made great friends with Susie, Kuamut and Manis and goes to the forest together. They enjoy the fun of being together. Linggam is very shy in the forest, but he never misses any feeding. When he is alone, he likes to wander around in the forest. Witnessing the friendship that Linggam formed was indeed an unforgettable moment! We hope Linggam can enjoy the forest and thrive in his new home.
IDENTIFYING MARK/TRAIT: Linggam is a very handsome bear. He has a narrow muzzle, a shiny coat and is slender in stature.
ADOPTION: Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia is adopting Linggam under the My Bear Adoption Programme.
