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.
