Sloth bear in the green we were too lucky to spot this sloth bear in bandipur national park. In fact we saw two in two days. They are supposed to be very shy and elusive but guess luck was on our side:) Bandipur National Park,India,Melursus ursinus,Sloth bear Click/tap to enlarge

The Sloth bear

The sloth bear is a nocturnal insectivorous species of bears 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 as a subspecies.
