Animal Behaviour, 2017 Recent studies have shown that several species within the Carnivore order show impressive cognitive skills. However, bears, especially sloth bears, have received little attention with regard to their cognitive abilities. Here we presented seven sloth bears with three tasks to test their object permanence, shortterm memory and ability to use acoustic ...

Seed Dispersal by the Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus) in South India1
Biotropica, 2002 ABSTRACTPrevious studies have shown that sloth bears are mainly myrmecophagous, but in this study, 39 and 83 percent (wet and dry season, respectively) of scats surveyed in South India contained fruits. Seeds from three of six plant species collected from scats germinated faster than seeds not passing through bears; germination percentage was not ...
