A female Sloth Bear attacked these villagers near the Panna National Park in Madhya Pradesh, India. Sloths are known to have an awful temper (apart from poor sight!).
The men say:
"I was ploughing my fields when suddenly from the forest a bear came and attacked me. It was a female bear with her two cubs. The bear attacked my neck, back and my eyes."
It was 6 pm in the evening on the 23rd of October, 1994. I was walking on the path when suddenly a bear came out from the bush and attacked me. It was a female bear with her two cubs. It attacked my eyes and ears."
