What does a sloth bear like to eat?
339803
Sloth bears, like most wild creatures, seek foods which will return the highest nutritional value for the least expenditure of energy. Seasonal availability and geographic location are the biggest factors determining the primary food sources of sloth bears. \n\nWithin the tropics, termite and ant colonies are abundant and stable food sources. Sloth bears have adapted to become specialized termite hunters. The bears will dig into the hard tall pillars where the termites live. They then insert their muzzle to suck up the termites and their larvae. The noise made by this activity is very loud and can be heard up to 180 meters (200 yards) away. \n\nSloth bears will also climb and shake fruit trees to obtain food. Honey is also a source of nutrition for the bears, as are ants, berries, cultivated sugarcane, corn, cultivated yams and the fleshy flowers of the Mohwa tree. \n\nWhile not known to be very predatory in nature, sloth bears will eat virtually any carrion which they may discover. \n\nSloth bears prefer to feed during the night but will feed at any time of the day as necessary.

I like Sloths!  I don't know why they are a deadly sin though, they are just so cute and cuddly.  \n\nIs it because they do almost everything upside down...including mating?  Perhaps "The Church" frowns on mating in any position outside of the missionary position?  \n\nIt can't be because some sloths have 2 toes while others have 3 can it?  \n\nWell there has to be a reason, "The Church" doesn't make mistakes.

There was a fox and a bear talking one night in the middle of the forest. The fox says, "Hey bear what kinds of animals did you eat today?" The bear answers, "I only had a dear and I shared it with my cubs. How about you?" \nThe fox replies, "I had a chicken from old McDonald's farm and sheep earlier today. I am stuffed."\nThe end

Animals live in the jungle because they evolved to live there and have food to eat there.

Is this a riddle? LOL Pandas eat mostly bamboo... bamboo is not all that hard to catch ;-)

They are native to Australia and they are marsupials (carry their young in a pouch). They eat eucalyptus leaves which contain enough water so that they don't have to drink. They are sometimes called koala bears, but they aren't actually part of the bear family.

They can eat almost anything, so can Deer.  I had one eat a Satellite meter once that was laying on my back bumper, plastic and metal all gone.  I'm sure it's not good for them and they won't answer when I ask why.

Bears have a diet that is mostly based on berries, fish and the occasional animal that might wander around.  Berries are missing in winter, and fishing is hard to do owing to the ice that covers lakes (and fish are not as active anyway), and looking for the odd animal it could catch would be time and energy consuming; perhaps not a good move from an energy point of view (the bear would spend more energy to hunt that it owuld get from eating the animal it could catch; bears are solitary animals as do not have the hunting success a pack of wolves might have).\n\nSo, it makes good sense for them to "close" shop for the winter, and live off the fat they accumulated in the summer and fall.

Most polar bear carcasses are actually eaten by other polar bears, and there are very few remains left to decay.  What the bears do not finish, smaller animals, like the arctic fox, will take care of.  The food supply of walrus and seals for most artic bears has dwindled, leaving many starving.  Thet therefore eat whatever they can get their paws on.  Discovery Channel had a recent special about polar bears and they actually showed the remains of baby bears that had been eaten by starving male bears.  Hope that helps!

I used to work in an animal colony taking care of monkeys. They masturbate and throw their feces at you all day! they are easily the most disgusting animal on the planet! I think it's JUST FINE for a vegetarian to eat the little buggers nuts! I'd cut them off myself!

Diet is reconstructed by reconstructing the animal and reconstructing its environment.\n\nReconstructing the environment can be achieved by looking at the plant fossils that occur alongside an animal. That gives a good indication what type of habitat the animal lived in, whether it was tropical rainforest, arctic tundra, desert etc. With that information it is possible to construct a list of possible diets. For example we won’t speculate that an animal could have eaten bamboo if it live din deserts, and we can rule out that an animal ate lizards if it lived in polar wastes.\n\nThe next step is to reconstruct the animal itself. \n\nThat reconstruction normally starts with the teeth. Teeth can tell us a lot about diet. For instance predatory animals usually have sharp widely-spaced teeth like a lion or crocodile, while herbivores have rounded, closely packed teeth like a cow.  \n\nThe next step is to look at teeth wear. Looking at teeth structure gives us a lot of information about diet but it isn’t perfect since animals like pandas and fruit bats have sharp carnivore type teeth yet live entirely on plants. But plant leaves contain a lot of hard material and they wear teeth away very fast and leave a lot of scratches, so we can see whether an animal ate a lot of plant material by looking at the teeth. That way we can tell separate out animals like pandas and fruit bats that recently evolved a vegetarian diet from their carnivorous descendants.\n\nThe next step is to reconstruct the rest of the skeleton. By looking at the ways the bones are hinged and how big the muscle attachment points were we can get a very good idea of how an animal moved. That then tells us thing like whether a meat eating animal was strong and fast enough to make its own kills like an eagle, or whether it had to rely on scavenging like a vulture. It also tells us whether an animal could climb, or swim or burrow.\n\nThe final step is to look at injuries. When bones break they leave a scar even after hey heal, and starvation and disease also leave marks on bones. By looking for those signs we can see whether the animal was suffering from injuries associated with being kicked by prey animals, or from falls from trees and so forth and we can tel whether its prey was seasonally abundant like salmon, or whether it was available year-round like tropical grasses.\n\nSo now we know what types of food existed alongside the animal because we reconstructed its habitat.\nAnd we know what the animal was adapted to eat by the tooth structure.\nAnd we know how much plant material it ate from the wear on the teeth.\nAnd we know whether the animal got that food by hunting, scavenging, swimming, climbing etc. from the muscle and bone structure.\nAnd we know when that food was available, what sort f animals were being attacked by predators and so forth.\n\nWith all that information we can build up a very accurate picture of animal diets just form fossil evidence.

Pound for pound, there isnt anything to compare to meat (assuming of course you are adding in the fat, and the tasty, ever-surprising intestines and stomachs of the prey).  But, food for a carnivore is dangerous-you cant get fat and slow, you want to keep the meal frequencies to a minimum, and each meal comes with some exercise-thus big canivores only eat once or twice a week at best.  Herbivores eat for hours and hours every day.  No, the food is not highly nutritious, especially in terms of fat and protein content-but there is a whole lot of it, a long time to eat and digest it, and no worries about over-eating and getting fat, really.  You know, the eating patterns are why herbivores tend to be much more aggressive, dangerous animals that carnivores- Think bull moose, bull elephants, hippos, rhinocerous etc- They are much more aggressive and dangerous to be around than a corresponding lion or wolf.  Herbivores can afford to get quite injured, and still recover cause their food doesnt move around and try to get away.  A tiger breaks it's foot, or gets a terribly torm muscle, and it will likely starve, so large carnivores are generally very wary of getting into fights.

I'm sure if you gave a Hippo some chocolate pudding, they would gobble it up with no problem.\n\nAs far as their preference......well you know as well as I do that you may never get a true answer to that.....\n\nOne thing I do know for sure........this was a cute question and it really made me laugh.\n\nThanx for the chuckle!\n\n:)\nPeace!

Camels are primarily grazers.  In addition, camels love carrots, apples, bananas, sweet potatoes, and many other crunchy vegetables and fruits. They also browse and nibble the tree leaves of just about any tree in their environment.\nAs well as grazing on grass, feral camels browse on vegetation as high as 3.5 metres above the ground. They eat most plant material, including fresh grasses and shrubs, preferring roughage to pasture that has introduced grasses or has been fertilised. Camels have a high need for salt and they eat salty plants, even devouring thorny, bitter or toxic species that are avoided by other herbivores.

Sloths sometimes let out a cry or hissing sound
