Background history: In November 2019, five sloth bears – consisting of 2 adults and 3 sub-adults – Arthur, Molly, Ginny, Charlie and Ron, were rescued in an anti-poaching operation by the forest department and police authorities based on information provided by the Wildlife SOS anti-poaching unit ‘Forest Watch’ near the Indo-Nepal border. They were then brought to the Agra Bear Rescue Facility for lifelong care, and they now call the centre their home. Charlie is the oldest of the three rescued sub-adults.
