Strange-looking creature freaks out workers in Borneo

An amateur footage of a strange animal crawling in a forest went viral. The video was first trended last January and resurfaced the social media these past days.

Workers of a plantation in Sibu, Borneo recorded a raw footage of the said creature and lead a speculation that it was an alien.

The strange creature is a hairless animal.

A Threatened Species

The locals called the animal as alien or a mysterious creature. But the Chairman of Malaysian Nature Society Kuching, Anthony Sebastian cleared the rumors from his interview with Malaysian Star.

It is clearly a Sun Bear. What confuses people is the lack of fur. It is not some strange alien that has fallen from the sky,

After three months after the video first trended, a news from The Dodo website said that the sick hairless bear is now in a good and safe place.

The trending bear was found near another plantation.
