a hybrid, is reported to have been seen with polar bears near Kugluktuk in western Nunavut. Asian black bear known or suspected hybrids In 1975, within Venezuela's "Las Delicias" Zoo, a female Asian black bear shared its enclosure with a spectacled bear, and produced several hybrid descendants. In 2005, a possible Asiatic black bear × sun bear hybrid cub was captured in the Mekong River watershed of eastern Cambodia. The bear's mane was relatively slight, forming a crest on each side of the neck, as is typical in sun bears and some black bears. The appearance of its face was intermediate between that of a sun bear and a black bear, though its ears and large stout canines closely resembled those of the sun bear. Overall, the hybrid resembled an Asiatic black bear with an unusually glossy fur and an unusual head. In 2010, a male hybrid between an Asiatic black bear and a brown bear named Emma was taken from a bile farm and into the Animals Asia Foundation's China Moon Bear Rescue. Sloth bear hybrids Hybrids between the sloth bear (Melursus ursinus) and the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus, or Selenarctos thibetanus) are known. Hybrids have also been produced between the sloth bear (Melursus ursinus) and Malayan sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) at Tama Zoo in Tokyo. References Further reading Intergeneric hybrids
