A group of bears is called a sloth. This term was first used in 1492, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. The original phrase used was "A Slouthe of Beerys". The word sloth derives from the Middle English term for slow, but it is a wonder as to why early writers would think that a group of bears moved slowly.
