The sloth bear (Melursus ursinus), also known as the Stickney bear or labiated bear, is a nocturnal insectivorous bear species found wild within the Indian Subcontinent. The sloth bear evolved from ancestral brown bears during the Pleistocene and shares features found in insect-eating mammals through convergent evolution. The population isolated in Sri Lanka is considered a subspecies. Unlike brown and black bears, sloth bears have lankier builds, long, shaggy coats that form a mane around the face, long, sickle-shaped claws, and a specially adapted lower lip and palate used for sucking insects. Sloth bears breed during spring and early summer and give birth near the beginning of winter. They feed on termites, honeybee colonies, and fruits. Sloth bears sometimes attack humans who encroach on their territories. Historically, humans have drastically reduced their habitat and diminished their population by hunting them for food and products such as their bacula and claws. These bears have been used as performing pets due to their tameable nature. The species is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN due to habitat loss and poaching.
I sat quietly just a few metres away from wild sloth bears as they slobbered, tussled and wrestled over honey at Daroji bear sanctuary, India. These bears are wild and protected within the large reserve. Some are nuisance bears that have been captured trying to steal food, or attack people, in local villages, others have been translocated from areas where their habitat is being destroyed. Once a day the wildlife wardens smear honey on a few rocks to ensure that the most recently introduced bears have enough food. This makes them more visible and helps the wardens to monitor the health and population of the reserves several hundred sloth bears. It also gave us the perfect opportunity to film and photograph them. Filmed by David Heath with thanks to our friends Kalyan Varma and Madanna Dila...

The bears were quick to explore all the features of the habitat including the felled-tree climbing structure, a raised platform, and puzzle feeders that reward the animal with food treats when jostled or rolled. This species of bear is omnivorous but uses its claws and digging ability to seek out insects from the ground and inside rotting trees. When it comes to its diet, the sloth bear has more in common with anteaters than other bears. The slo...

Just in time for Mother's Day, the Chicago Zoological Society, which manages Brookfield Zoo, is happy to announce the birth of two sloth bear cubs that were born on January 20. This is the first successful litter of sloth bears born at Brookfield Zoo. Until today, May 8, when they made their public debut, the cubs have been in a maternity den with their mom, Hani, 10, growing by leaps and bounds. Zoo guests will be able to witness one of the most intriguing behavioral traits of this species: a mother sloth bear carrying her young on her back. Rarely seen in other bear species, a cub riding on its mother's back is a regular mode of family travel. Hani will continue to carry her cubs until they are about a third her size. Be sure to check out the cubs during the zoo's annual Bear Awareness W...

I visited Wildlife SOS in India to learn about the plight of India's dancing bears. http://www.ironammonite.com/2010/06/the-sloth-bears-tale-dancing-no-more.html My first stop was the Daroji bear sanctuary in Hampi, where I saw bears living in the wild and I met Samad Kottur, a local science teacher, who works to protect and rescue Sloth Bears. I then travelled to the bannerghatta bear rescue centre where I saw the effect of the dancing bear trade for myself. This video was 1st posted in 2009 and received over 200,000 views, later that year the last dancing bear was rescued from the streets of India. The trade continues in Russia and China. Following a viral attack originating in Russia, this video was inexplicably removed from YouTube - we believe that this was the work of those opposing...
In a brutal tit-for-tat, these central Indian villagers attacked a Sloth Bear that turned on a man, and bludgeoned it to death after which they set it on fire, in a grotesque display of lynching. A villager in India has a lucky escape when he was saved from a deadly Sloth Bear attack by a crowd that descends upon the bear with sticks and stones, fast turning into a riot, in Itarsi, Madhya Pradesh. The crowd abused the bear and progressively pulverized it, ending up lynching the creature and creating a bonfire of its remains. These sad images throw up the very real problem faced by wildlife in India, that of human-animal conflict, habitat loss and the ingress of human beings into traditional wildlife habitats.

The Jungle Book's Baloo the bear character is based on the secretive sloth bear who lives in India's wildest places. The real Baloo does chase fancy ants, but his life is a lot tougher than that of his fictional friend. Narrated by David Attenborough, this is the first film ever made on these shy creatures and it follows a young male called Baloo as he grows up in the harsh Karnataka landscape, fending off foes and finding food. Baloo's mother is also nearby with two new cubs on her back, trying to keep them safe from prowling leopards.
