Quite rare to sight and photograph this behavior. Agree the 'V' on the chest looks nice. Good composition and details. Thanks for sharing.

Thats a lovely pose with the V or necklace shaped white ring clearly visible. Most of the time people see it when they stumble upon a sleeping sloth bear and it rises on its hind leg for the mauling.

The image is 475x664 pixels. Did you upload this size or the software automatically resized to this size? Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. Eye contact is good. Uncommon behaviour observed. It is usual alert/alarm pose. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Hi Sabyasachi,
This is the actual size of the image. I am sorry if this is as per guidelines. I will take a look at the guidelines before I post again.
