Well... we made the 200 mile round trip to see Chester's brand new baby sun bear and she is ADORABLE!

Conditions hopeless for photography - high ISO, low shutter speeds and a good deal of over excitement from the photographer does not generally result in great shots - but I thought I'd share these anyway. Chester's little miracle bear - born to parents who were rescued themselves as cubs. I loved their new purpose built enclosure when I first saw it and it certainly seems to have been a success! Excellent work by Chester Zoo :)

Thanks for looking... I strongly recommend going to see her for yourself if you get the opportunity!!
 
(s)he? is certainly very cute that's for sure,
the first one is definitely the best of the bunch (y)

Thank you - and I agree re the first one. She is a confirmed she :)
 
Oh she is really cute!!
Great bunch, Fi. I'm glad she put on a show for you. :)
 
Big, big,huge fan of Bears Fi, Sunbears in particular.....always great to see a cub enjoying life.They remind me of big dogs in many ways....

On the downside - do I need to tell you about Bear Bile Farming ? Quite possibly one of the most vile practices our eastern cousins use ?

Thanks Mark - and yes, I am aware of bile farming. And disgusted by it.
