Baloo the bear in the jungle book

Baloo, a sloth bear , is the strict teacher of the cubs of the Seeonee wolf pack. His most challenging pupil is the "man-cub" Mowgli. He is described in Kipling's work as "the sleepy brown bear". Also, the name sloth can be used in the context of sleepiness. Karlin states, however, that Baloo's diet of "only roots and nuts and honey" is a trait more common to the Asian black bear than to the sloth bear. Nevertheless, this may be single observation only; according to the dietary habits of sloth bears , while sloth bears prefer termites and ants which is also described as Baloo's special treat in The Jungle Book , their main sources of food are honey and fruits most of the year. Though this subspecies of the brown bear is absent from historical records on Seoni, it might have ranged across most of northern India. Another possibility is that this character was named after Balochistan Bear, a sub-species of Asiatic black bear, which can be found around Baluchistan mountain range of Pakistan and India. Another strong supporting fact to this theory is that Balochistan bears love to eat bananas and other fruits. In several scenes of the Jungle Book , Baloo is shown to be eating bananas and prickly pears.
