The Spectacled Bear is a large South American mammal. It is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 3.
Description[]
The spectacled bear, also known as the Andean bear, is the only species of bear native to South America and one of the largest living land animals on the continent. It is named after the cream-colored markings across its face and upper chest, which often a shape resembling glasses and are unique to each individual. Males can weigh up to 200kg (440lbs), although 115kg (254lbs) is a more typical weight; females are much smaller. Compared to other bears, the spectacled bear has a rounded face with a relatively short snout.
Although closely related to the extinct Short-Faced Bear, which was believed to be highly carnivorous, the spectacled bear is largely herbivorous. Preferred foods include cactuses, bromeliads, palm nuts, bulbs and fruit, with the bears using their acute sense of smell to locate the ripest food. Native to the cloud forests of north-western South America, it is a capable climber and will often climb trees to find food and avoid detection. Numbers have declined due to hunting and habitat loss.
