A Slauth Bear attacked six people last week outside of Bannergada National Park.

Bannergada is located in the Karnataka region of India, about 100 kilometers from Bangalore,

to their current form in the Pleistocene, which means this critter hid its stride anywhere

from 2.5 million years ago to 12,000 years ago, and may be an offshoot of the modern brown

bear.

Its primary name from its slow shuffling walk.

The Slauth Bear has long claws specialized to tear open termite mounds, but these long

claws make them poor climbers, which may be the root of this surprisingly non-sloth-like

fact.

Slauth Bear attacks on the ever encroaching human populations are very common.

In fact, Slauth Bear attacks in India count for more attacks than the entire distribution

of fearsome brown bears in the world.

If you consider the fact that humans hunted the Slauth bears, in some cases only for

their backulum, or penis bone, the attacks make a lot of sense.
