The fact that Sloth Bears can survive alongside tigers illustrates just how formidable they are. ... You should consider doing videos on the Sun Bear and Asiatic Black Bear also.

This is the absolute best channel I've seen in a long time.
I'd recommend personally more extinct animal videos & rare animal videos.
Great Job and I wish whoever operates this channel much success.

I think sloth bears are not really bears, it belongs to another animal type😮

Interesting that mothers carry their cubs on their backs, just like anteaters do on the opposite side of the planet. That's a strange case of convergent evolution. It must be beneficial somehow for insectivorous mammals. I would guess that it's difficult for the mother to root around in ant nests while also monitoring cubs, and maybe insects provide limited energy for an animal that big? The cubs just ride to conserve energy?

Beautiful beast of the jungle

It would be subspecies, and not species, "there are 2 subspecies of sloth bears"...
