Sloth Bear: The Barefoot Bear of Sri Lanka

Meet one of the most enigmatic animals of the lowland forests.

This book provides a wealth of resources and imagery on:

• the biology, ecology, and behaviour of sloth bears;
• sloth bear habitat and the rising threats to it from human population growth;
• the difficult relationship between humans and sloth bears.

Written in an engaging and accessible style, this is an essential and inspiring read for both professional ecologists and non-specialist readers interested in the challenges of large carnivore conservation and workable solutions for human-bear coexistence.
