Perth Zoo has unveiled a precious new addition and an Australian first - a rare Sun Bear cub.
Images of the cub, the first Sun Bear born in Australia, have been captured as the youngster named Maly (pronounced mahlee) begins a tentative and gradual emergence from her den.
Environment Minister David Templeman said Maly – a Cambodian name for blossom - weighed just 406 grams when she was born 13 weeks ago and had remained tucked away in a birthing den with first time mum, Bopha, for the first three months of her life.
