Winter War

The Winter War between USSR and Finland took place between 30 November 1939 – 13 March 1940. It lasted 4 weeks and 5 days.

Malayan Sun Bear – Part 1 The helarctos malayanus, commonly known as sun bear, is the smallest breed of bear in the world. An average a fully grown sun bear will weigh between 30kg and 60kg and will be 120cm to 150cm tall.
