There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Which is the point of the movie I think. So, Pckts sees Baloo as a "connect-the-dots" bear. Sorry, but all I see is a Himalayan brown bear. But scrap it. It is fantasy after all.
We can claim him to be whatever we want, but nothing changes the fact that in this rendition, he is a Sloth Bear.
Quoted in the movie, quoted by disney and thus, that is what he is.
Is he a literal sloth bear, of course not, but many creatures are not their literal selves in the movie.
