This footage shows an adorable sun bear cub attacking her toy traffic cone as she hones her skills as an apex predator.
The footage, filmed at Moscow Zoo in Russia, shows the bear ‘battling’ with the traffic cone.
Moscow Zoo said in a statement on 5th December: “Our Malayan bear may be quite small, but don’t forget that she is a real predator!
“Just look at this bear fight with a cone.”
The sun bear (Helarctos malayanus), also known as a Malayan bear, is native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and is listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
