Behaviour "When feeding, sloth bears make loud huffing and sucking noises,[18] which can be heard over 100 m away.[12]"

Dietary habits "The termites are then sucked up through the muzzle, producing a sucking sound which can be heard 180 m away.[5]"

So which is correct? AnnaComnemna (talk) 19:07, 28 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

So? If you think this should be in the article then say so and make a case for including it. Otherwise this falls under WP:NOTAFORUM and shouldn't be on the talk page. Meters (talk) 06:02, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Inconsistent

edit

Having just seen a sloth bear today, I came to read about them and find that one section says the adults are excellent climbers while another section suggests they don't climb well because of their claws. Which is it?! MeegsC (talk) 17:03, 5 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

How big are they?

Size is pretty basic information. This can't be hard to find. MiguelMunoz (talk) 21:05, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

It's fairly clear in the article. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:30, 8 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
