According to National Geographic, sloth bears are solitary animals and grow up to six feet in length. They stand on their hind legs when they are threatened and display their foreclaws as a defence mechanism.
Recently, a video of the rescue and release of a Himalayan black bear went viral. The video showed the bear leaping out of a cage and running to the wilderness. Before that, a video showing a bear and its two cubs entering a wedding stage</strong> had left netizens in splits. The mother bear carried its two cubs on its back and sniffed around the stage floor as wedding lights glittered around them.
