Can you name the seven other bear species found across the world? Drop your answers in the comments below! #didyouknowfacts Here’s a fun fact—despite their name, Sloth Bears are NOT related to sloths! 🐻✨ Unlike the slow-moving tree dwellers of South America, Sloth Bears are agile and fast, capable of running up to 32 km/h (20 mph). They also don’t live in trees, but instead roam forests and grasslands, using their powerful claws to dig up termites and ants. The confusion comes from their name—early zoologists thought Sloth Bears resembled sloths due to their long claws and occasional slow movements, but they are true bears with a wild and active nature! 🔔 Subscribe to Quest Wilderness and More for more wildlife adventures! 👍 Like, share, and comment to support conservation storytelling.
