In this undated photo, Ram Singh Munda, 35, and his daughter feed their pet sloth bear Rani at Gahatagaon village, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) north of Bhubaneswar, India. When wildlife officials learned of Munda, who brought the orphaned bear cub home from the forests of eastern India, where it became part of the family, he was arrested and jailed for violating wildlife laws, the bear was sent to a zoo where it's refusing to eat and the abandoned six-year-old daughter has been shipped off to a state-run boarding school.
