Sloth Bear: Animal Poem #3

This is my favorite animal... ok, so I know this is a re-post... but I'm posting it again because I like this poem and would consider it (or something similar) for the book :-)
--------------------------------------------------

With black ears like pom-poms
And a grey bottle-like snout
I may look kind of strange
But that’s what I’m all about.

Although I’m a big bear
Five to six feet long
You know what I like to eat?
The things that crawl along

First, give me an ant
And then give me a termite
And when they’re in season
A mango or fig for my delight

If you ever get to see me
Look down at my black paws,
You may be quite surprised to see
That I have these white curly claws

But you know, I don’t need a pedicure
It’s just the funny way I look
And by the way, I’m also famous
Featured in the “Jungle Book”

And though you should never ask a lady one
As a guy, I may be so bold...
If you ever really wanted to know...
I can live up to 40 years old

And alas if you were ever confused
And you wanted to know which bear were the best
No need to search far and wide, it’s the one
With the cream colored “Y” or “V” on his chest

So when you see the bear with that long, lovely stare
With loud “kerfump” noises, I’ll be sure to make you aware
That of all the animals whose memory you’ll ever get to share
There’s nothing quite like me, the ever adorable sloth bear.
