Named for the sun-like crescent on their chests, sun bears are actually nocturnal. They’re native to Southeast Asian forests, where they hang out in trees and use long claws to dig bugs out of wood. They also eat birds and other small prey. The smallest bears, they’re the size of big dogs. (Ross Gordon Henry / Shutterstock)
