Answer: Sloth Bear
Sloth bear is a myrmecophagous bear species native to the Indian subcontinent. It feeds on fruits, ants and termites. It is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, mainly because of habitat loss and degradation.
They have shaggy, dusty-black coats; pale, short-haired muzzles; and long, curved claws. Due to their diet of insects and fruit, their premolars and molars are smaller than those of other bears

The first valid scientific description of this species was by George Shaw in 1791. They grow 5 to 6 feet long, stand 2 to 3 feet high at the shoulder, and weigh, on average, 200 to 300 pounds.
They live in a variety of dry and moist forests and in some tall grasslands, where boulders, scattered shrubs and trees provide shelter.
They are found in India, Sri Lanka and southern Nepal. Sloth bears have also been reported in Bangladesh and Bhutan They are currently considered extirpated, or no longer present, in Bangladesh and may also be absent from Bhutan.
In India, sloth bears breed in late spring to early summer. In Sri Lanka, there is no seasonality to sloth bear breeding.
