The UK's first baby sun bear has been given a name...

The first sun bear cub to be born in the UK has finally been named.

Little Kyra was born at Chester Zoo to parents who had been rescued from poachers in Cambodia.

Her name comes from an Old Persian and biblical word "khuru", which means (appropriately enough) sun.

She weighed just 400g at birth, and is now exploring her new habitat in Chester.
