SEX : Female
MEANING OF NAME: Loki is a very special sun bear cub adopted by Steve Denim who is passionate in changing sun bears lives. He named this female sun bear cub "Loki" to commemorate his cat who was struck by a car and unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.
HISTORY: Loki was discovered in the backyard of an inn, where she had been illegally kept as a pet for about five months. Her previous owner purchased her from a friend in Ranau, west coast of Sabah, and named her “Ooi”. Loki was confiscated by the Sabah Wildlife Department and sent to BSBCC on 24th March 2014. She was in very poor health due to the owner’s lack of knowledge on how to properly take care of a sun bear cub. Loki was severely malnourished, which caused her paws to appear too big for her thin body.
PERSONALITY: Loki is very aware of her surroundings and reacts to every sound by standing on her feet. She can be pretty cranky at times. Now Loki has a group of playmates, Sunbearo, Bintang, Susie 2 and Kala. They also share the same passion of playing with each other! But her very best friend is Sunbearo. It can be spotted that Sunbearo and Loki love to spending time together. They have a habit of suckling on each other to seek comfort. Loki does not mind water, she can be seen splashing water from her bowl and shaking it off like a dog does when water is accidently sprinkled on her during husbandry work. Loki and her group of friends took their first step out into the forest enclosure on the 24th of December, 2015.She is always excited to explore around the forest. Loki likes to enjoy the sun light but does not mind the rain either. She likes to climb high up on top of the trees regardless of the weather and rest on them. Loki is showing more skills in the forest. Her tree nest is well-built by using tree leaves and branches. Watching Loki dig for insects, climb trees, and play with green leaves and branches is such a delight. She is slowly gaining the strength and confidence that she will need to live the life of an independent sun bear. She has made excellent progress in the forest!
UPDATE: On 10 Jan 2021, BSBCC has released Sunbearo and Loki back into their natural habitat. After years of rehabilitation, evaluating the behaviour as sun bears and their taking into account of their social characteristics, it was decided that Sunbearo and Loki will also be released back into the forest together.
At 6.48 a.m., the door towards freedom opened up. Sunbearo and Loki took their time to come out of the boxes. Both of them appeared to have settled down, and they walked out of the boxes gracefully. Sunbearo was first, and Loki was right behind his tail. Sunbearo and Loki were sniffing their new surrounding without feeling startled. Loki continued sniffing and walking on the opened pathway for them while Sunbearo stayed around for thirteen minutes sniffing the around before walking into the forest.

JANTINA: Betina
MAKSUD NAMA: Steve Denim mengadopsi Loki dan memberinya nama “Loki” untuk memperingati kucing kesayangannya yang mati dilanggar kereta.
SEJARAH: Loki ditemui di halaman belakang sebuah inap desa (homestay). Dia telah dipelihara secara haram sebagai haiwan peliharaan selama kira-kira lima bulan. Pemilik sebelumnya telah membeli Loki daripada seorang rakan di Ranau, Sabah, dan menamakannya "Ooi". Loki telah dirampas oleh Jabatan Hidupan Liar Sabah dan dihantar ke BSBCC pada 24 Mac 2014. Keadaan kesihatannya sangat teruk kerana pemiliknya tidak mempunyai pengetahuan yang betul tentang cara menjaga anak beruang madu. Loki mengalami kekurangan zat makanan yang serius, menyebabkan kukunya kelihatan terlalu besar untuk tubuhnya yang kurus.
PERIBADI: Loki sangat peka terhadap persekitarannya dan akan bertindak balas terhadap setiap bunyi. Dia kadangkala boleh menjadi agak cerewet. Kini, Loki mempunyai sekumpulan rakan bermain, iaitu Sunbearo, Bintang, Susie 2 dan Kala. Mereka semua berkongsi minat yang sama ketika bermain bersama tetapi rakan beruangnya yang paling rapat ialah Sunbearo. Sunbearo dan Loki sering menghabiskan masa bersama, malah mereka mempunyai kebiasaan untuk menghisap jari antara satu sama lain untuk mencari keselesaan.
Loki tidak kisah dengan air. Dia sering dilihat memercik dan bermain air dari mangkuknya. Pada 24 Disember 2015, Loki dan kumpulan rakan-rakan beruangnya mengambil langkah pertama mereka keluar ke dalam kawasan hutan BSBCC.
Loki sentiasa teruja untuk meneroka kawasan hutan. Loki suka menikmati cahaya matahari dan hujan. Dia gemar memanjat tinggi ke atas pokok tanpa mengira cuaca dan berehat di atasnya. Loki semakin menunjukkan kemahirannya di dalam hutan. Sarang pokoknya dibina dengan baik menggunakan daun dan dahan pokok. Melihat Loki menggali serangga, memanjat pokok, dan bermain dengan daun serta ranting hijau adalah satu situasi yang menggembirakan. Dia perlahan-lahan mendapatkan kekuatan dan keyakinan yang diperlukan untuk menjalani kehidupan sebagai beruang madu yang berdikari. Kemampuannya di dalam hutan sangat mengagumkan!
INFO TERKINI: Pada 10 Januari 2021, BSBCC telah melepaskan Sunbearo dan Loki kembali ke habitat semula jadi mereka. Selepas bertahun-tahun menjalani pemulihan dan kami menilai tingkah laku mereka sebagai beruang madu serta mengambil kira ciri sosial mereka, kami memutuskan untuk melepaskan Sunbearo dan Loki bersama-sama ke dalam hutan.
Pada jam 6.48 pagi, Sunbearo dan Loki di lepaskan dari kendang pemindahan. Kedua-duanya kelihatan tenang dan berjalan keluar dengan penuh keyakinan. Sunbearo keluar dahulu, diikuti rapat oleh Loki. Mereka berdua mula menghidu persekitaran baru mereka tanpa rasa takut. Loki terus menghidu dan berjalan di laluan yang disediakan untuk mereka, sementara Sunbearo mengambil masa selama tiga belas minit menghidu sekeliling sebelum akhirnya melangkah masuk ke dalam hutan.
