Is named the sun bear because of the sign on his chest that resembles a rising sun. Sun bears have short and smooth coat that can be black, grey, or red. They live in hot and humid places, so they don't need long fur. They have a patch on their chest that can be yellow, orange, white, or cream. Sometimes they don't have a patch at all. They can show their patch to scare off enemies when they stand on their back legs. Baby sun bears are mostly black with a light snout and a dirty white patch. Older cubs may have a darker brown coat. 
You might also use words from the same lexical field, like solar or derivate words like sunny, just go with the solar theme. Make it your own, the bear has variation on his mark too.

🧸️ About the sun bear: The sun bear gets its name from the light-coloured, curved patch on its chest that resembles a rising sun. Its scientific name Helarctos combines the Greek words for sun (ήλιος) and bear (αρκτος). It is also called the honey bear, or beruang madu in Malay and Indonesian, because it loves to eat honey from beehives. The term "honey bear" can also apply to the kinkajou. 
Sun Bears may look cute and cuddly, but they are not to be messed with. They can defend themselves against tigers, leopards and huge snakes if they have to. Sun Bears have some amazing features that help them live in the wild: 
·       They have long tongues that can reach 25cm, which are great for licking honey and catching insects. 

·       They have short, black fur that keeps them cool in the hot weather, but also protects them from rain and scratches. 

·       They have loose skin that allows them to twist and bite back if someone grabs them. 

·       They have powerful jaws that can break branches and coconuts. 

·       Sun Bears make loud noises like barking, growling and roaring to warn off enemies and mark their territory. They make softer sounds like clucking when they want to mate.
