I just thought an interesting scenario with two situations. Drop a hundred sloth bears in random parts of Africa (where the forest and Savannah overlaps). The second part, drop a hundred sloth bears in the Amazon jungle. How would the situation turn out? Keep it factual and realistic please.

In Africa, the sloth bears would scatter around as they are solitary, they can eat from termite mounds and other insects, the hot climate would be no problem. Problem is if they encounter lion prides or even solitary lions, that would be their main problem i believe.
In the Amazon jungle, jaguars can be a problem, some can get larger than the average sloth bear. But in general, they would do well.

/\Sloth bears would also be living alongside gorillas as well in some parts of America. Would a sloth bear be able to fend off a lone lion in your opinion ?

Sloth bears and gorillas would avoid each other. A lone lion would be similar to a Bengal tiger but somewhat more ferocious in my opinion. But yes, this bear it can definitely fend off a lone lion.

Sloth bears will beat up leopards. That is right. Sloth bears will rob leopards in Africa like they would in India. They would even be able to rob lone spotted hyenas too.

Reply 3. They would have to watch out for Nile crocs and hippos when they go to the river to drink. They might have a friendly relationship with baboons and mandrills which might stay close to them to deter leopards from coming close.
