have to observe an adult sloth bear.

Sometimes I see sloth bears at the termite field.

Termite field?

That sounds cool.

Mala, can you take us there?

Yes, it's not far.

All right Wild Kratts, let's go.

It's just through there.

Chris and Martin: Wow.

Martin: Now that's a termite field.

Oh, what's that noise?

Seems very weird and big.

Could it be an elephant?

I'm going in to check it out.

Me too.

Wait up, bro.

Nope, it's not an elephant.

Whoa, that's a big male sloth bear.

Males are bigger than females and its hair is even messier.

(grunting) Koki, Aviva and Mala: Huh?

(grunting) Koki, Aviva and Mala: What?

(grunting) Koki, Aviva and Mala: Ah, we're coming.

Look at those claws.

Martin: Those claws are long and cu rved, just like a sloth's.

Uh-oh, male bears can sometimes kill cubs.

Koki: Well, let's hide them then.

Yes, Shag, Shaggette, you guys hide in here.

Koki: Wow, I bet he got his name from his claws.

Look at that power.

Mala: Yeah, he's after termites.

Good observation, Mala.

What else do you see, bros?

Claws break mound, Chris: expose termite tunnels.

Prehensile lips cover tunnel.

Martin: Nostrils closed and he starts sucking up termites like a vacuum cleaner.

Interesting, but I need more details.

These sloth bear lips are really flexible.

They can wrap around the tunnel entrance and create an air tight seal.

And the bear closes his nostrils so no air could get in and out of the tunnel.

So when the bear sucks in, all the air in the tunnel goes into the bear Aviva: sucking the termites with it.

Suction!

The sloth bear creates suction.

Activating x-ray analysis.

Oh yeah.

Chris: The suction is sucking the termites right into the bear's mouth.

He's definitely using suction.

So he can suck up termites like a vacuum cleaner.

And that's why I'm gonna name you Shaggy Vacuum.

That's one great creature power.

The sloth bear is the only animal we know of that uses the physics of suction to eat termites.

Plus it has bear strength and sloth-like claws.

This is going to be a very interesting creature power suit.

Oh, I can't wait to get my hands on one of those sloth bear power discs.

Activate sloth bear powers.

And to use those powers.

And to be a sloth bear.

(sniffing) He smells something.

Martin: Sloth bears have an excellent sense of smell.

In fact, it's their most highly developed sense of all.

Chris: He could be smelling something much farther away.

Chris and Martin: A tiger!
