Oregon Zoo sun bear Vivian euthanized at age 30
Do you know where Danum and Dibu ended up ?Thanks for making this list!It's sad to see how few sun bears are left in North America though
Also, I believe the father of Danum, Bulan, Palu, and Pagi is Dibu.

How many sun bears are currently in America? If the number is unknown would an approximation be possible
Is that including cato

I count 16 if Catocotin is down to 1 and Palu at Virginia passed away.

They asked how many left in America, not in AZA, so yes, it includes Catoctin's one bear.
