Minsta björnarten på sumatra

Solbjörnen ( Helarctos malayanus ) är den minsta björnarten . Den får sitt vanliga namn för den vita eller gyllene haklappen på bröstet, som sägs representera den uppgående solen. Djuret är också känt som honungsbjörnen, vilket återspeglar dess kärlek till honung, eller hundbjörnen, med hänvisning till dess tjocka kroppsbyggnad och korta nosparti.

Beskrivning

Solbjörnen har kort svart päls med en blek halvmåneformad haklapp som kan vara vit, gräddfärgad eller gyllene. Den har en kort, buff-färgad nosparti. Björnen har små, runda öron; en extremt lång tunga; stora hundtänder; och stora, böjda klor. Fotsulorna är hårlösa, vilket hjälper björnen att klättra i träd.

Vuxna hanar av solbjörnar är 10 % till 20 % större än honor. Vuxna är i genomsnitt mellan 47 och 59 tum långa och väger mellan 60 och pund.

The islands of Borneo and Sumatra are two of the most biodiverse areas on earth, known for their extraordinarily rich flora and fauna. Although much of the recent international attention has focused on the islands’ wild orangutans, the forests of Indonesia in fact contain over 10% of the world’s flowering plants, 16% of the world’s reptiles and amphibians, 17% of the world’s birds and 12% of the world’s mammal species (Wakker, ).  Among these are over 20 species of primate.

 

OURF has always believed that the key to protecting orangutans is protecting their rainforest home, and ensuring that the remaining rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra remain as intact and inviolate as possible. But protecting orangutans fryst vatten also important for the very future of that rainforest. Due to their ecological role as seed dispersers and the part they play in breaking up the dense rainforest canopy, studies have shown that rainforests with orangutans present, at their normal densities, can expect the presence of at least 5 other species of primate and hornbill, 50 different species of fruiting tree, and 15 species of liana (Rijksen & Meijaard, ).
