SIKA

HISTORY: Sika was found by a foreigner who travelled to the village of Sikalabaan, in Pensiagan district, one of the most rural areas in Sabah. He had visited BSBCC before. He decided to call BSBCC and asked us to rescue this bear cub. He saw that the bear cub was being kept in a chicken mesh cage as a pet. She was previously fed with condense milk, fruits and cereal.

PERSONALITY: Sika has stolen our hearts with her beautiful blue eyes. She is developing into a lovely, active and playful bear. She is content with playing and discovering enrichments on her own. Sika loves to sit high up on the log enrichment hung up in the den or the hammock while observing her surroundings. She is brave and accepts everything on offer. She cannot stop exploring either the environment or enrichment. Sika has a fantastic ability to climb high. She is developing her muscles every day. In quarantine, Sika loves to spend time play fighting with Kina, Soo, BJ and Diana. They seem to get along well and explore in their world of fun. On 6thFebruary 2020, Sika moved to the bear house with Kina, BJ and Soo. She settled down quickly. Sika loves staying in the forest. Sometimes she stays out for the night too. She shows curiosity about everything. Sika is a shy bear. In the forest, she always hides under the bushes. It is hard to see her when in the shade with her darker coloured snout. Sika has shown positive signs of a rehabilitated bear preparing for a future life in the Bornean forest.

ADOPTION: Amy Scott is adopting Sika under the My Bear Adoption Programme.
