"Sloth Bear"
Native to India and Sri Lanka- Sloth bears are occasionally hunted by Bengal Tigers. As tigers are known to imitate the calls of Sambar Deer to attract them, Sloth Bears even react fearfully to the sound of the deer themselves-
There were 735 attacks on humans from April 1989 -to March 1994 -48 were fatal- Studies indicate that human intrusion into Sloth Bear habitat and foraging areas was the cause in most cases-

Very nice shadow details - I like the tonal treatments you give your images.
