Based on a Universal Genetic Code
Another characteristic of life is that all living organisms are based on a universal genetic code. This is apparent when looking at the appearance of all Malayan Sun Bears to date. Notice anything? If you thought that they looked similar then you would be correct! Because these bears all share the same universal genetic code, it means that they are going to have the same basic appearance; from the short, black, coarse fur to the slightly differing patches on their chests. The similarities don’t just stop at this family tree. Sun Bears branch off of the overlying title of Ursidae, and look very similar so other Asian bears and the American Black Bear. There are about eight species of bears in the world.
