Sun bears have large paws, turned in slightly to help them climb trees and long sharp sickle shaped claws to grip the bark. They have a long tongue to stick into beehives to get honey, powerful jaws to crack open nuts, short sleek, coarse coats that prevent rain and mud from getting to their skin and twigs from scratching them and finally, loose skin around their necks which allows them to sriggle back far enough to turn around and attack when grabbed.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Claws on the front feet are longer than on the back feet typically, but the ones on the front can be up to several inches long...3 inches at most...shorter than that of grizzly bears. Bears claws grow during their winter sleep and so are longest when they emerge from their dens and are worn down from digging, climbing, and general wear and tear.
