Jude is a great surrogate parent, as a mom I can imagine how proud/scared/happy/sad/worried he must be.

[@jairajmohip6526]

[@collageofideas5784]

She'll thrive in her natural habitat. Where she's meant to be.

Jude is the real hero in this story.. no vacations from being a bear mommy in the middle of the forest! Wow, what an amazing and immersive job.

[@planet-wild]

Absolutely! Jude's dedication is truly heartwarming and inspiring 💚🐻

Agreed but at the same time I'm so jealous this looks so fun! Serious work, but also, how fun!

that is such a cute bear, I can't believe how sweet it is. I hope Tenom will manage it well in the wild and hopefully even start a family

[@planet-wild]

We're also rooting for Tenom's happy journey back to the wild! 💚🐻

[@peasinourthyme5722]

I can´t get past the fact that Jude is from now on going to spend night and day in the company of a bear cub, in the rain forest, for 2-3 years. What a commitment!

[@planet-wild]

Indeed, Jude's commitment is truly inspiring! 💚🐻

[@elishh8173]

That's a real HERO!!!

[@user-pd9k]

Bears are sweet animals that love their solitude. I’ve volunteered at a Bear Rehab center before. It’s almost impossible to get an orphan cub back into wild because they learn life skills from mother. Great attempts by the Doc and caregivers. I hope with the success of baby Tenom, many little ones get their wild life back. Good luck for Mission Success ✌️

[@planet-wild]

Thank you so much for the support and appreciating our efforts! We're equally rooting for Tenom's happy journey back to the wild! 💚🐻

[@planet-wild]

Big thanks for your support and contribution! We're thrilled to have you as part of our Planet Wild community 💚🙏

[@JMBAD_art]

I can’t imagine how bittersweet it must be to successfully release a cub you raised back into the wild. In some ways there must be no greater pride and joy, while in others I just can’t imagine raising a baby animal for years only to have to say goodbye forever and leave her fate up to nature. I have nothing but THE utmost respect for people like Jude and Dr Wong. Godspeed, little Tenom!

[@user-KrackerJack]

Shes adorable

[@planet-wild]

Her cuteness in bear-y irresistible! 🐻😍

[@solehsolehsoleh]

So used to watch videos like this about other countries, now this one is actually in my country. Beruang Matahari or Beruang Madu, if come up on the news, is usually when they got spotted in a human neighbourhood. I wish for the best to Tenom, the teams, and the rewilding mission.

[@azul9655]

Wow, Jude is awesome! He truly is dedicating years of his life to take care of little Tenom and the bond shows. It'll be such a bittersweet moment when Tenom leaves, but hopefully he'll do well and start a family of his own, he'll tell his kids that he's half bear and half human because his second mommy was an incredible man! haha🐻

[@planet-wild]

Couldn't agree more! It's going to be quite the emotional journey, but watching Tenom flourish in the wild will make every moment worthwhile 💚🐻

[@AlexGeoR]

What a fantastic project. Fingers crossed for the little bear.

[@planet-wild]

Your support is much appreciated, thank you! 💚🐻

[@zepatrik]

I already visited the sun bear conservation center in Sandakan! Great place, and very good work they are doing there. Not just for the animals, but also for teaching the public about the native endangered species in a very sustainable way.

[@planet-wild]

That's fantastic to hear! Dr. Wong and his team are indeed absolute legends 🙌💚

[@KayossPlays]

Did you find that they were less than 3 ft tall? I don't know where they got that number from

[@inaballik2643]

Awwww, this is amazing!!! She is cuter than I had envisioned and I can see why it's a bittersweet emotion for Jude, Dr. Wong and the entire team!! 💓 this mission so much! Release the bear to show you care 🐻

[@planet-wild]

Thanks for the appreciative words! It's a mix of emotions for sure, but knowing Tenom will thrive in the wild brings so much joy to us 💚🐻

[@lynxg4641]

You guys shed just a little bit of hope for the planet and all the other species we've absolutely ravaged and for me every time I see a project. This is very interesting and I'll be keeping an eye out for future updates to see how it goes. IF we can really manage to teach creatures the skills they need to survive in the wild and release them, it would be absolutely game changing. I'm guessing that they'll slowly have to stop feeding her as much food over the training period so she has to learn to forage for herself, which is totally doable, but getting her to break that human bond I think is going to be very difficult - people who don't deal with animals don't understand how easy it is to imprint across species, really hoping this can work. Expect that they'd leave the cage there when she's finally set wild, closed of course for future bears and maybe she'll come back and help teach them.

[@planet-wild]

Yes, the team is putting a lot of hope in this method. We can’t wait to see how it works and bring the updates to the community 🐻

[@Rithene]

Wow, that's some amazing dedication on Jude's part.

Even the most unappetizing looking creatures ( e.g Chinese giant salamander and pangolin) get eaten for some reason. Both examples are interesting and cute, but never appetizing. Same goes for sharks to. Once, when I was on vacation to Bangkok, we went to the aquarium, and we were looking at sharks. A long distance friend of mine told me that she had shark fin soup the other day. My biggest regret was not having the guts to tell that sharks are endangered and shouldn't be eaten.

[@zeph6439]

@@minthantlin9168People with soul are always welcomed by people with soul :). The problem is that there are so few pangolins, bears and other endangered animals left, and so many people with hardly any soul left who want to eat them. When we kill other animals for pleasure, or to eat because they are endangered for some wacko reason or other, we lose our world soul.
