RESCUE BEAR 14

MANIS

Picture
AGE : At least 20 Years Old                      

Meaning of Name: Sweet (Malay)
 
History: Manis came to the centre from the Lok Kawi Wildlife Zoo in August 2009. She was an adult and was suspected to be pregnant. However, her pregnancy was later found to be a pseudopregnancy where she only showed signs and symptoms of pregnancy and in fact, was actually not pregnant.
 
Personality: Manis has a sweet personality just like her name. She is gentle and a rather solitary bear. She is the ‘grandmother’ of the group. She shows more dominance towards the other adult female sun bears. She gets along with the entire female bachelorette group except Cerah and Jelita. Because of her age, Manis tends to spend more time on the ground than climbing trees. She is definitely doing well in the forest, but at her own pace. Sometimes she needs a little encouragement from the staff and her bear friends to step out into the forest. She will find activities to occupy her time outside. She roams around the forest enclosure with Susie and Kuamut, but is often independent. She spends most of her days napping near the platform area. She has an endearing way of resting with her chin on her paws, as if waiting patiently for something. In the forest, she will dig and forage besides resting and grooming herself.​

Identifying mark or trait: Manis is the oldest female bear and you can see it in her eyes which are wrinkled, and her eyebrow hairs that stick straight out. Manis can often be seen at the front of the cage watching you with her elbows resting on the bars and her head on her paws. She used to pace in circles in her pen. Fortunately, she showed improvement and her pacing behavior has reduced.

Adoption: Manis was adopted by Jris Switzerland through the My Bear Adoption Programme.
