We all know him, we all love him: Baloo – Mowgli’s constant companion from the Jungle Book. Did you know that the role models for Baloo are the sloth bears of India? Surprisingly, not much is known about this secretive species. They are mostly nocturnal animals and very shy. Over a period of three years and in more than 200 days in the field, Oliver Goetzl and Ivo Nörenberg not only were lucky enough to film these elusive creatures at daytime, but got also behaviour that was even not known to scientists so far, like the mouth feeding of cubs by their mothers.
