    My understanding is that a sloth bear encounter is pretty special, seeing one with two cubs would be even more special. Lucky you! Posted 7 years ago

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.
