Sloth Bear
Sloth bears are mostly solitary except for females with their cubs. Sloth bears tend to be more active during the night and cooler parts of the day in protected areas; however, in disturbed and fragmented forests interspersed with human habitations they are almost exclusively nocturnal. The sloth bear is endemic to the Indian subcontinent and are present in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
