* Sloth bear (Melursus ursinus): These bears are found in the Indian subcontinent, primarily in India, but also in parts of Sri Lanka and Nepal. They are unique for their long, shaggy fur and their ability to climb trees. They are omnivores, but their diet consists mostly of termites and ants.
* Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus): These bears are found in the Himalayan region, including India, Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Myanmar. They are known for their characteristic crescent-shaped marking on their chest. They are omnivores with a diet that includes fruits, berries, insects, and small animals.
Note: While the polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is often mentioned as a bear in India, it is not native. Polar bears are found exclusively in the Arctic regions.
