List Of The 7 Types Of Bears In The World - Page 6 of 9

Sloth Bear

The Sloth Bear is native to the Indian subcontinent and has a distinctive lower lip which it can use to suck up insects. Therefore, it’s sometimes referred to as the “labiated bear” as well. It’s no surprise that the main food of these bears is termites and insects, as well as various types of fruit. These bears are also relatively small compared to some of the bigger bear species. They grow anywhere between 150 and 180 centimeters and weigh between 54 and 141 kilos. Unfortunately, their habitat has diminished tremendously and they are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
