The Negeri Sembilan Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) is set to relocate a trap near the Taman Tuanku Jaafar area in Seremban after a sun bear was sighted in a residential zone last night. Director Faizal Izham Pikri revealed that the trap was initially placed at a camp of the 15th Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment (RAMD) in Senawang on September 21, following a complaint that the bear had damaged stingless bee hives there on September 19.
The bear, captured in a viral video roaming the Taman Tuanku Jaafar area, is believed to be the same animal that had previously damaged an orchard within the camp, which is adjacent to the housing estate. Perhilitan is prepared to move the trap to another location if the sun bear continues to frequent the residential area, believing the animal originated from the Angsi Forest Reserve. This development was reported by Bernama.
