Sloth Bears eat termites and ants and have adapted uniquely to this diet. They have long, curved claws to dig into termite mounds, and their lips can extend into a tube-like structure to suck up insects. Sloth Bears also love ripe berries and sometimes consume them in excess, leading to intoxication.

Sloth Bears are primarily nocturnal to avoid the day's heat in their tropical habitats. They have shaggy, long fur and claws that are notably long and curved. This length and curvature are specialized adaptations that aid in digging into termite mounds and ant nests.

Sloth Bears live in the lowland forests of India and Sri Lanka. They are known for loud vocalizations, including grunts, snarls, and roars for communication, especially between mothers and cubs. The cubs ride on their mother's back. Sloth Bears cubs engage in wrestling, chasing, and play-fighting, which helps in their physical development and social skills. This playful nature symbolizes the joy and innocence of youth and the importance of play in learning and development.

Due to its robust nature and ability to thrive in challenging environments, the Sloth Bear symbolizes strength and resilience. Their ability to feed on termites and ants symbolizes survival and adaptability in adversity.

Sloth Bear mothers carrying their cubs on their backs for several months symbolize motherhood's nurturing and protective aspects. Their slow movements and deliberate feeding habits symbolize calmness and patience.
