The Indonesian honey bear (Helarctos malayanus euryspilus) is a subspecies of the sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) that is native to the islands of Sumatra, Borneo, and Riau in Indonesia. It is one of the smallest bear species in the world, with males weighing up to 60 kg (132 lbs) and females weighing up to 50 kg (110 lbs). Honey bears have a distinctive black coat with a cream-colored chest and throat, and a long snout with a prehensile tongue.

Honey bears are solitary animals that live in tropical rainforests and mangrove swamps. They are primarily arboreal, meaning that they spend most of their time in trees. Honey bears are excellent climbers and swimmers, and they use their sharp claws and teeth to catch prey and defend themselves from predators.

Honey bears are omnivores, and their diet consists of a variety of fruits, insects, honey, small mammals, and birds. They are particularly fond of honey, which they obtain by raiding beehives. Honey bears are also known to eat termites, which they extract from their nests using their long tongues.

Honey bears are an important part of the Indonesian ecosystem. They help to disperse seeds and pollinate plants. Honey bears are also a popular tourist attraction, and they can be seen in several national parks and zoos in Indonesia.
