Description

Native to the Indian subcontinent, each sloth bear sports a whitish chest mark akin to a human fingerprint, which allows for individual identification and tracking. The enclosure provides space to wander or hide when an animal prefers privacy. Sightings largely hinge on the weather and the bears' sleep schedule: watching them is engaging during active periods, though visibility drops when they nap or tuck out of sight.
