The Frugivores of the Month are Bears

Bonne Nuit les Petits (Good night kids). In the early 60s, french kids who had TV knew that when Nounours was coming in their bedroom, it was time to brush teeths and to go to bed, before the sand merchant drop some magic 'sand' powder to asleep Nicolas and Pimprenelle. Since then, bears are highly threatened in all continents by human and by climate change, especially polar bear and  sun bear, the later being dependent on fruit and disperse seeds in Borneo that is devastated. One more good reason to save our Nounours or Teddy bears. The frugivores of the month are Bears.
