by Kids Discover

Shaggy sloth bears are the only bears that carry their babies on their backs. Native to South Asian forests, they are usually active at night. With their long claws, they can dig into tough termite and ant nests, sucking up the insects through a gap in their teeth. (Nagel Photography / Shutterstock)
