Sun bear at Oakland Zoo celebrates 19th birthday

OAKLAND, Calif. (CBS, KYMA) - A sun bear at California's Oakland Zoo celebrated her 19th birthday earlier this week.

Her keepers gifted her with special snacks, including a "hay-and-worm treat bag."

Footage from the zoo shows the bear of the hour, Bulan, enjoying the worms and a giant popsicle before playing with a big red ball.

According to the Oakland Zoo, sun bears are native to tropical rainforests, and primarily eat termites, bees, and earthworms.
