subject rare and beautiful, very well taken: the light on the face and the particular expression, almost a smile, are exceptional

The subject is very interesting but I do not think it is rare in these parts. Very nice development in the diagonal of the hill. The harsh light not helped you, the shaded part is a little 'darker.

Thank you so much to Parvati, Oly and Pmaffio.

The sloth bear is done in the list of endangered animals since 1986 (http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/13143/0): in the last 30 years the population has diminutia of 30-49%.
"At the turn of the century, sloth bears were found Throughout Sri Lanka, but reduced in number after the turn of the century, two to wide-scale conversion of upland forests into tea and coffee plantations. They are now restricted to the northern and eastern lowlands "(from Wikipedia - At the turn of the century, sloth bears have been found in Sri Lanka, but after the end of the century, are reduced in number, due to the large-scale conversion of forests in mountainous tea plantations and coffee. now are limited to the northern and eastern plains).
It was primarily abbastanza rarely seen in the season when I went because I seek refuge in caves and only thanks to the rain that night had made the climate is less humid, driven by hunger had gone out to eat (in fact did nothing but eat and choreographic eat :-( ;-)), and only thanks to the suggestion of an old guide who spoke in the evening with my had told him, and through word of mouth that there is between the guides in Yala, we learned in that area was going around.
And even Memy wrote on Sloth Bear: "I have personally seen him for a few seconds in India do not even have time to take ...."

in fact, in 20 years of traveling the Indian subcontinent, I happened to see them only 2 times (10 years ago) in Nepal and along the road to Sikkim and were tied up and forced to perform in the street (it is also called sloth bear for the custom to keep in captivity and show it in street performances - a practice currently banned, but not completely extinguished), never seen in the wild. Now is protected, but secretive habits and not easy to find in its natural environment, and I hope sooner or later to have this privilege
