Human-sloth bear conflicts are a concern for communities and wildlife enthusiasts in Karnataka. As one of the eight bear species found worldwide, sloth bears—officially named Melursus ursinus—are myrmecophagous, meaning they prefer insects and termites. They have long, shaggy dark fur and curved claws and live in dry and moist forests as well as grasslands in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and possibly Bhutan. The IUCN has designated it as 'Vulnerable.'
