Gone too soon: Kukuton the beloved sun bear with a painful past.
KOTA KINABALU: After two years of care and rehabilitation at the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) in Sandakan, Kukuton, a nine-year-old gentle and beloved sun bear, has died.
Kukuton’s story is one of survival and resilience. He was rescued after being kept in a small cage for seven years as an illegal pet, following the tragic loss of his mother to poachers.
