Clearly Canadian
Welcome to the first Clearly Canadian auction series, featuring the 7 Deadly Sins!
Up for auction today we have a blue bottle who would actually rather stay a bottle than expand the energy to grow (don't worry, I'm here to make sure it does, if we have to force it to!)

So how do bears relate to sloth? Meet.....the sloth bear:
The sloth bear is also occasionally referred to as the honey bear. Sloth bear mothers carry their one or two cubs on their backs so that they can protect their young while making a quick escape from predators.
Home: Sloth bears inhabit forests and tall grasslands in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan.
Size: The sloth bear grows to about 1.8 m and weighs 54 to 140 kg.
Colour: They have long, shaggy coats which are commonly black, but it may be red or reddish-brown, turning a lighter color on the muzzle and chest.
Food: Sloth bears eat fruits, honeycombs, and insects, but with their hairless lips, flexible snout, and gapped front upper teeth these bears are particularly adapted for feeding on ants and termites. They also use their long claws to open ant and termite nests.
