EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a spoon when you have a tongue like this? Meet the AUS-1762, the sun bear with an impressive superpower - its incredibly long tongue! This print captures the moment when this adorable yet potentially dangerous bear shows off its unique feature. With a diet consisting of honey, termites, bees, bird's eggs, and even carrion, it's no wonder this little guy evolved such an advantageous tool. Named after the sun-like spot on its chest, the AUS-1762 is proof that good things come in small packages. Don't be fooled by its size though; this tiny bear still packs a punch! Found in tropical rainforests stretching from Burma to Sumatra and with smaller subspecies in Borneo and Southeast Asia, it truly is an Asian gem. In Wayne Lawler's incredible photograph, we see the AUS-1762 facing us head-on with its mouth wide open. It's as if it wants to say 'Look at me and my amazing tongue!' And boy oh boy do we look! So next time you're enjoying your breakfast cereal or licking ice cream off your cone, remember that there's someone out there who can do it better - the sun bear with their extraordinary tongue!
