Sloths Bear (Melursus ursinus), also known as Bear or bear labiated Stickney, is a nocturnal insectivorous species of bear found wild within the Indian subcontinent. Bear sloths evolved from ancestral brown bears during the Pleistocene and shares features found in insect-eaters mammals through convergent evolution. Isolated population in Sri Lanka is considered to be a subspecies. Unlike brown and black bears, sloth bears have developed lankier, with long mantle that form the mane around the face, long sickle shaped claws, and a specially adapted lower lip and palate used for sucking insects. Sloths, bears breed during the spring and early summer and early winter near the produce. They feed on termites, honeybee colonies and fruits. Sloths, bears sometimes attack humans that encroach their territory. Historically, humans have drastically reduced their habitat and diminished their population by hunting them for food and products like baculum and claws. This bear has been used as a pet do because of their tameable.
Bear sloths distinguished from black bears lankier Asia to build them, over time, the mantle shaggier, pale muzzle and white paws. Bear sloths thick and long snout, with small jaws and bulbous nose with wide nostrils. They have long lower lip that can present in the outer edges of the nose, and the least upper incisors, thus enabling them to draw a large number of insects. Premolar and molar teeth are smaller than in other bears, because they do not chew as much vegetation. In adults, the teeth are usually in poor condition, because the amount of dirt they suck and chew while eating insects. The back of the mouth palate long and wide, like other specialized ant-eating mammals.
Disproportionately large claws, and has been well developed, sickle shaped blunt claws which measure 4 inches in length. Their foot on by a hairy website. They have the longest tail in the bear family, which can grow up to 6-7 inches. Their hind legs are not very strong, even if they are knee-jointed, and allows the sloth bears to assume almost any position. Very large and floppy ears. Sloths fur bear really black (rusty for some specimens), save for a whitish Y or a V-shaped chest. This feature is sometimes not available, particularly in specimens of Sri Lanka.
These features, which are also present in Asian black bears and sun bear, is expected to serve as a threat display, as all three species are sympatric with tigers.The mantle length, shaggy and messy, though relatively warm enivronment this species is found in, and very weight in the back of the neck and between the shoulders, forming a mane that 30 cm (12 in) long. Underlegs stomach and almost naked.
Adult-sized sloths, bears are bears, weighing around 130 kg (290 lb) on average, although different weight can range from 55 to 124 kg (120-270 lb) in females and 80-192 kg (180-420 lb) at men. They are 60-90 cm (2-3 ft) high at the shoulder, and has a body length of 1.4 to 1.9 m (4.6 to 6.3 ft). Females are smaller than males, and have more fur between the shoulders.
Adult sloths bears can travel in pairs, with a gentle man with his son. They may fight for food. They walk in slow motion, off-balance, with their feet set in motion, flapping noise. They can run faster than a human walking. Although they appear slow and clumsy, sloth bears are excellent climbers. They climb to feed and rest, though not to escape enemies, as they prefer to stand their ground. They were able to climb on smooth surfaces and hang upside down like sloths. They are good swimmers, and especially add water to play. To mark their territory, sloth bears will scrape trees with their front legs, and rub them with their hips.
Bear sloths have a great vocal range. Gary Brown, in his Great Bear Almanac lists more than 25 different voices in 16 different contexts. Sounds like barking, screaming, grunt, roaring, snarls, whickers, woofs and complaints made when angry, threatened or when fighting.
When hurt or fear, they scream, moan or whimper. When feeding, sloth bears make loud huffing and sucking sound, which can be heard more than 100 meters away. Sounds like a rush or hum made by bears resting or sucking their paws. Scattering will transmit to her voice bouncing them. The most spectacular species during mating, and make hard, melodious calls when doing that. Bears do not hibernate sloths. They make their day beds out of broken branches of a tree, and will rest in the caves during the rainy season. Sloths, bears the most nocturnal bear, although pigs are becoming more active in the day when his son.
