Sloth Bear

The Sloth Bear (Ursus ursinus) is also known as the Labiated Bear. It is considered a vulnerable species as it competes with humans for living space, and also has many predators in the animal kingdom. They are the most likely of all animals to make an unprovoked attack on humans.
They are a nocturnal insect eating machine. They prefer termites, honey bee colonies and fruit.
They can be found on the Indian subcontinent.

There are two subspecies of Sloth Bear, the Sri Lankan sloth bear ( Melursus ursinus inornatus) from the island of Sri Lanka, and the Common sloth bear (Melursus ursinus ursinus) found in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bengladesh, and Pakistan.
It was thought, when the sloth bear was first discovered by the scientific community, that it was related to the tree dwelling sloth of South America, but it really has no relation to that species of animal.
