Yes, no idea what type they are. They have sloth bears, and the ones
that are often used as dancing bears (which might well be sloth bears
for all i know). -------------  Arrrgh!!"

"The Jungle Book" took place in eastern or central India, so I suppose
Baloo was a sloth bear. I have also heard of sun bears in
Malaysia and Thailand; do they live in India, too?

I don't know how you have somehow got mixed up with the activities of Medieval Europe, but that just does not take place. Democratic law and religious beliefs are strongly against it (the majority of India is vegetarian, and they only use animals for milk and maybe eggs). Black bears are found in the north of India, a mountainous place called Kashmir. ------------- Men grow tired of love, sleep and food before they grow tired of war |

Modern Pakistan isn't medieval Europe, the species of bear used there
doesn't magicly stop at the Indo-Pak border, even if the practice does.
