eh?

From sloth-bears.com:

The main food for Sloth Bears is termites, which are abundant and stable food source. They also eat other insects, bird eggs, honey, fruits and various kinds of vegetation. Sloth Bears have special adaptations for eating termites. They lack the inner part of upper incisors, this allows them to form a gap and suck the termites into their mouths.

so, it's weird, no? I can understand the attack, but eating the monkey seems really strange.

That monkey must have really pissed off those bears! Seriously, can you imagine trying to explain that to your screaming 6 year old?

They're sloth bears, I don't care how stunned you are, you should be able to outrun them.

But they're not sloths (I think they were just named that because their claws are similar), so they are probably actually pretty fast. Fast enough, anyway. :(

False advertising! Next you'll probably tell me that you can't teach a dogfish to fetch.
