We went on a jeep ride through the Bannerghatta National Park and saw
sloth bears yesterday. The jeep driver told us that these bears mix honey and
jackfruit, form the mixture into little balls and eat them.

Upon returning home and searching Google about their eating habits, I found out about "bear's bread". According to
Wikipedia, "when feeding their cubs, sows are reported to regurgitate a mixture of half-digested jack fruit, wood apples, and pieces of honeycomb. This sticky substance hardens into a dark yellow, circular, bread-like mass which is fed to the cubs."
