#ThursdayThoughts “Our lives begin to end the day we become quiet about things that matter.” - Martin Luther King Jr. (This is an old picture of our Co-Founder, Kartick Satyanarayan trying to educate this man who belongs to the Kalandar community & rescuing the dancing bear from him.) #WildlifeSOS has successfully ended the brutal practice of "Dancing Bears" by rescuing over 600 'performing bears' from Kalandars in 2009. Today, these bears have been rehabilitated at our rescue centers across India. They're healthy, happy and free! While the community dependent on these animals was provided an alternative livelihood.

🐻Bears of the World 🌎 Sloth bears: feeding habits. 1) Equipped with long claws for digging in sun-baked soil, this captive #slothbear wears the typical rumpled, shaggy coat of the species 2) To suck ants and termites from their galleries, #slothbears alternately blow sway debris and then suck in mightily to vacuum up the insects. Their staccato sucking and blowing can be heard up to 200 yds away. #nature #bears https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7hMZAF4vv/?igshid=dq12mdidsa4i
