Sloth bears move very slowly except when disturbed. These bears are so fond of honey that they are sometimes called honey bears. They hunt chiefly at night. These bears eat birds' eggs, grubs, honey, insects, and plants. They also eat termites.
Sloth bears pull apart the termites' nests, blow away the dust, and suck up the insects.
The bears make loud blowing and sucking noises, and hunters have little trouble finding them. Sloth bears live in India and Sri Lanka. See Sloth bear . Spectacled bears are the only South American bears. They have shaggy black or blackish-brown fur.
