Because I can.

Right now, well right now I'm looking at pictures of Sun Bears. Why? Because I can. And also Sun Bears are cool. There were a couple at Lowry Park Zoo, they might still be there, btu one in particular always stuck with me: it had three legs. I think it's name was Sunny.

When I first got Maisey, I told people she reminded me of a Sun Bear. She still does. And had she not had a cute name when I adopted her (for instance, if her name had still been Diamond, which I sometimes still whisper near her to see if she remembers that name...she kind of does), well I would have named her Sunny or Bear or something that related to a Sun Bear, like Sunny Bear?

I just checked Lowry Park Zoo's site...no more Sun Bears.
