Moon Bear by Brenda Z Guiberson, illustrated by Ed Young

From chapters.ca:
Moon Bears, or Asiatic black bears, are so named because of the white moon- shaped blaze on their chests. The moon bears are seldom seen but their footprints, claw marks, hair, and bear nests high in the trees give us clues about how they live. Sadly, there are now more moon bears in captivity than in the wild, as these animals are being "farmed" for their commercially valuable bile.
