sloth bear
Refers specifically to the sloth bear (Melursus ursinus), a bear species native to the Indian subcontinent.
Sloth bears mainly eat insects.
A sloth bear cub was born at the zoo.
Kanji form is rare; the first character 懶 is not a jōyō kanji and the word is usually written in kana.
Compound of 怠け (namake, 'laziness') + 熊 (kuma, 'bear'), likely a calque of the English 'sloth bear'.
