Sloth bears are shaggy insect-eaters with strong claws and a taste for termites and honey. This zoology title, filled with vivid photos and factual life science text, explores sloth bears' physical characteristics, forest and grassland habitats, specialized diets, and unique behaviors, from digging for insects to carrying cubs on their backs. Readers will learn how sloth bears avoid predators, communicate with snorts and roars, and adapt to life in South Asia. A brief cultural note highlights their role in folklore and conservation challenges. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this book supports elementary-grade readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.
