RESCUE BEAR 59

ROMOLINA

AGE: 1 Year Old

SEX: Female

MEANING OF NAME: The name was given by the person who rescued her. She was named after the Romol village where she was rescued from.

HISTORY:The owner claimed that they found a cub alone in the forest and he took her then kept her as a house pet, where she was confined in a tiny cage. Bob Hartley and Virgil Joon Gunting got knowledge about this cub and quickly helped save the cub from a villager by negotiating with them to hand over the cub. She was rescued from Kampung Romol, Sapulut, in the interior division of Sabah and was handed over to the Sabah Wildlife Department then sent to BSBCC on the 7th of July, 2018. During the arrival, she was tiny. She was subsequently found to be malnourished, her bodyweight was appropriate and she showed signs of stunted growth (small body with some of her teeth being permanent teeth) as a result from improper diet (rice, cereals, sausages and fruits) and being confined in a small cage which restricted her growth. 

PERSONALITY: Romolina is our tiny but mighty baby girl, she weighed only 5.95 kg during the arrival. She might come off as cute, adorable and defenseless but when it comes to climbing and digging you can count on her to excel at it, best among the rest! She can be considered our tiny gymnast, she will be seen hanging from her hind paws at the top of the den when she’s curious, making loops and all kinds of tricks.
No stalk of corn or carrots can be hidden from little Romolina, she is an avid vege eater and will stop at nothing to get her daily veges in. She loves the outdoors, and if given the chanc she will ever want to come back to the bear house! Slowly she starts to learn forest skills that equipped her to survive in the wild.

IDENTIFYING MARKS OR TRAITS: She has an un-symmetrical chest mark which looks more like a necklace.
