No, sun bears do not hibernate. Unlike some other bear species, sun bears do not undergo a period of prolonged inactivity during winter. Instead, they remain active throughout the year. Sun bears live in tropical regions where food availability does not significantly decrease during any particular season, which may explain their lack of hibernation behavior. They have a year-round food supply in the form of fruits, insects, small vertebrates, and vegetation found in their forest habitats. Sun bears maintain their activity levels and forage continuously to meet their dietary needs, even during times when food resources may be relatively scarce. Thus, sun bears do not exhibit the physiological adaptations for hibernation seen in bears inhabiting colder climates with seasonal fluctuations.
