Thanks to a string of informants and in coordination with the Forest Department, Karuna’s Secretary Narendra Reddy could locate a Sloth Bear cub and bring her to Karuna.

She is female, the size of a big cat, weighing 4 kg on arrival, probably 2.5 month old.

At present she is in a safe place for observation,to de-stress, settle her stomach and to get her regular food timings in place. She has space to play and fights with an old shoe which is more suitable than our arms and legs!

As soon as possible she will join the other bears in the Sanctuary. We will keep you posted.
