Sloths are classified as folivores, as the bulk of their diets consist of buds, tender shoots, and leaves, mainly of Cecropia trees. Some two-toed sloths have been documented as eating insects, small reptiles, and birds as a small supplement to their diets.
A father animal is called a sire, regardless of the species. A male bear is called a boar.
It directly consumes animals and plants, and it's secondary because it can eat the products of animals and plants such as milk.
The opposite of he-bear would be 'she-bear' - but neither is necessarily correct. I think it should be male bear and sow.
First NEVER turn your back on a bear and run! This can insight the bear to chase and attack. The best defence against bears is to always let them hear you coming with bells on your clothes or by constantly making some sort of noise as you hike, most bears will take off and avoid contact. If you still encounter a bear you need to be loud, aggressive and try to look scary. Flip your jacket over your head and scream at the animal. An air horn scares the heck out of some, carrying one is not a bad idea.
Most adult bears cannot climb a tree very well so if you have to climb one to get out of immediate danger. Even if the bear still chases you up a tree you have a way better chance kicking him in the nose and face while he trys to get up than you would fighting him on the ground for sure!
Many bears are bigger than people, a few are smaller or the same size. They all are stronger than people.
Neither a wolf nor a bear would want to get into a fight with each other if they could avoid it. Although the bear would be very likely to win such a fight, it would still be injured in the process, perhaps badly.
Spectacled bears can grow to sizes greater than that of a black bear, males can be 6 ft. long, with females 4 ft. long. A typical 3 ft. shoulder height. Males can weigh 480 1b. with females 180 1b.
Depends on the age, and sex of either species. Bengal tigers are stronger hunters, while male sloth bears are more defensive in territories. So it's possible they could be similar as far as strength is concerned.
Although they are classified as carnivores, or meat-eaters, bears are really omnivores, like we are. They eat What_do_bears_eatand plants. About 90% of the diet of the Eastern Black bear is plants such as:

The spectacled bear is not currently endangered but is considered as vulnerable. It is threatened due to poaching and habitat loss. Poaching might have several reasons: trophy hunting, pet trade, religious or magical beliefs, natural products trade and conflicts with humans.
Male grizzly bears are said to average between 350-500 pounds. Some may weigh up to 700 pounds though.
Sloth bears primarily eat vegetation, though ants, termites, grubs, beetles, and other insects also make up a large part of their diet. They may eat carrion, but only during times when food is not plentiful.
