Some other sources of information describes sloth bears as being good tree-climbers. Good or bad depends on what you might compare his tree-climbing abilities with. Compared with a sun bear, an Andes bear, an Asiatic black bear, or an American black bear, the sloth bear can then be described as a rather slow and somewhat awkward tree-climber. Unlike the other bears mentioned, a sloth bear does not dart up a tree when danger threatens. He will however, climb a tree in search of fruit or honey, which he normally knocks out of the tree and then feeds on the ground.

They are capable of galloping faster than running humans.[17] Although they appear slow and clumsy, sloth bears are excellent climbers, including cubs.[18] They climb to feed and rest, though not to escape enemies, as they prefer to stand their ground.

They are capable of climbing on smooth surfaces and hanging upside down like sloths.[11] They are good swimmers, and primarily enter water to play.Sloth bears are the most nocturnal of bears.Sloth bears are extremely fond of honey.

The large canine teeth of sloth bears, relative to both its overall body size and to the size of the canine teeth of other bear species, and the aggressive disposition of sloth bears may be a defense in interactions with large, dangerous species such as tigers, elephants, and rhinoceroses. Sloth bears occasionally chase leopards from their kills.

Climb a tree in search of fruit or honey, which he normally knocks out of the tree and then feeds on the ground. .... You are saying like 'honeycomb is just on tree trunk he simply knock it out' !! Most honeycombs are above 50 feet easily. He climbs till the honeycomb, which most bear species cant.

He is better than all bear species in tree climbing (at-least he climbs tree to knock out),run faster,intelligent and very aggressive species. Reply
