Sun bears are found in tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia. They are the smallest member of the bear family.
Smallest member (Helarctos malayanus) of the bear family (Ursidae), found in South Asian forests. Nocturnal and tree-climbing, the sun bear weighs 60 - 140 lbs (27 - 64 kg) and is 3 - 4 ft (1 - 1.2 m) long, with a 2-in. (5-cm) tail, large forepaws, and short black fur with an orange-yellow crescent on the chest. It uses its long, curved claws to tear or dig for insect nests, particularly those of bees and termites. It also eats fruit, honey, and small vertebrates. The sun bear is shy and intelligent; legends say that its chest crescent represents the sun.

What is the cruelest way that moon bears are threatened?

Wild moon bears are very lucky, because when they are captured by the Chinese... Chinese people capture moon bears, and put them in tiny cages. Their stomachs are opened up without an anesthetic, and a kind of "thing" takes their bile out of them. They have to live like this for years of their life, in unspeakable pain, until they finally die horribly. (I am not insulting the Chinese, I am just giving you information.)
