Spectacled Bears By Tabitha W. Spectacled bears are very important. They are on the endangered species list. There is not much known about the spectacled bear. Would you like to learn more about this bear? Spectacled bears are mainly vegetarians. They eat plants, flower bulbs, and even bugs. They eat honey and when they eat honey they eat the bees sometimes. OW!! They also eat corn, eggs, and rodents like rabbits, mice, and birds. They sometimes eat cattle. They even eat termites. YuK!!!!. They love sugar cane. They must have a sweet tooth. They build platforms to help them get to berries and other high things. They also like cactus along with the other plants. Spectacled Bears’ eating habits are very much like humans Spectacled bears live in moist places. The normal altitude they have ever been spotted at is from six thousand to eight thousand feet above see level. That is normal. They live in caves and in the mountain ranges of the Andeas, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, and Columbia. They also live in the foothills of those places. They build houses in strong trees. They live in the tropical rainforest and other moist places. The only other bear living in South America are the Sun Bears . These animals are endangered because of hunters and farmers. Farmers shoot them if they are on their property. There are only about two thousand left . Some other interesting facts about the spectacled bears are that they are called the "Short Faced Bear". In Spanish, they are called, "Ucumari." Spectacled bears are very intelligent and very good climbers. They live up to thirty-six years. Opposite of what people think, they are no threat to humans. It is the other way around. They are known to communicate like dolphins. People say their relatives once lived in North America. They are nocturnal unlike most bears. These are just some amazing facts about the spectacled bear.

SPECTACLED BEAR Tremarctos ornatus Description: The spectacled bear is a small black bear with cream-colored facial markings around its eyes that give it its name. Females weigh about 150 pounds and males may reach 250 pounds. They have a total body length of 60 to 72 inches. Range: The spectacled bear is found in Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
Habitat: It lives in a variety of forested Andes mountain habitats, ranging in elevation from 500 to 14,000 feet. The spectacled bear is an excellent tree climber and forages in the trees. It is most often found in what is called the cloud forest, a lush, misty ecosystem of the Andes. The spectacled bear is thought to play a vital role in the forest by scattering seeds through its droppings, a function called seed dispersal. Diet: The favorite food of the spectacled bear is fruit and it will also eat varieties of bromeliads, rodents and insects. When feeding in fruit trees the spectacled bear will bend back many branches forming a "nest" that will serve as a feeding platform and a daytime refuge. When a spectacled bear strays into human farmland it is often shot on sight because it is considered a pest species for both the farmer's crops and livestock. Social Organization: Little is known about the behavior of this shy forest bear. It is believed that they are mostly nocturnal and spend the day time sleeping in self-made tree nests, large tree root cavities or on ground beds. At sites of abundant food, as with fruiting trees, several bears can be seen feeding in close proximity with very little interaction between them. Only mothers with young have been seen traveling together so it is assumed spectacled bears lead solitary lives.

A Spectacled Stare Tremarctos ornatus short-faced bear The spectacled bear gets its name from the distinctive circular bands which ring its eyes. The markings vary slightly from bear to bear, but the general look is the same. The markings are a creamy-yellowish color while the rest of the fur on the animal could be anywhere from brown to black. The spectacled bear is a small animal as bears go, the males generally weighing from 220 to 340 pounds, and the females 140 to 180 pounds. The animals are generally from 60-72 inches in length, with the females being about 30% smaller, on average, than the males. The females are generally mature somewhere between their 4th and 7th years. After maturity, the animals will mate between May and June, with the litters of up to 3 being born during the Nov-Feb period. The cubs weigh a mere 10-11 1/2 ounces at birth. During the mating months, the bears will pair up and stay together for up to two weeks, copulating frequently. Like most other bears, the female requires this stimulation to ovulate. Apart from basic mating and other minor habits, we have no information on the social life of these animals in the wild. The bears that have been studied in captivity have shed some light on their society. Females and cubs communicate with vocalizations, of which somewhere between two and five calls have been identified (depending on which source you check with).

"And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature , that was the name thereof."
Genesis 2:19 Bears (Bible Memory Verses Marked in Red) "Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:27 Bears: Any of several species of a large carnivorous mammal , related to giant pandas, lesser pandas , raccoons, and dogs. A bear is distinguished from members of the other carnivore families by its heavy body; short tail; short, rounded ears; and plantigrade feet (both heel and sole touch the ground, as in humans) with five clawed toes. It also lacks the shearing teeth common to most carnivores; the crushing molars of a bear are believed to be an adaptation for a plant diet. Although all bears are classified as carnivores, the different species vary widely in their feeding habits. For example, the polar bear feeds almost exclusively on seals and other animals, but it may also graze on vegetation ; the grizzly eats grasses, herbs, berries, and nuts as well as living or dead fish and other animals.

"Tropical" Bears Sun, Sloth, and Spectacled Bears are usually thought of as creatures of the Northern Hemisphere but three species range quite close to the equator. In fact, two species, the spectacled bear and the sun bear, actually occur south of the equator. Very little is known about the lives and habits of tropical bears, perhaps wildlife research is not a high priority for the relatively poor countries in which these bears occur. No one doubts the importance of conservation and wildlife study, but the government of many Third World Nations often simply have no mercy for along range resource planning let alone for wildlife research. For this reason, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and its associate, the World Wildlife Fund, have been a major financiers for conservation in the Third World, underwriting recovery programs for such critically endangered species as orangutans, pandas, tigers, elephants, and rhinos.
Sun Bears: The Word Smallest Bears In the rush to save other animal superstars, the little 100 pound (45 kg) bear ha been sadly overlooked. It seldom rates even a footnote in most wildlife studies, and all the information published on it would hardly fill two written pages. Yet what little data there is disturbing: In 1978 the IUCN included the Sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) on its red list of endangered species.

The Spectacled bear can be found in South America. It is not known if this bear hibernates, but it is thought that they don't due to the warmer weather, and availability of food year round. The Spectacled bear's favorite food is fruit. It will also eat bromeliads, rodents and insects.
The Spectacled bear gets it's name by the markings around it's eyes. These markings can help us identify each bear from another. They have powerful paws that help them climb trees. Often times they will bend branches to reach the fruits of the tree.

Life span 20-25 years. Statistics Body length: 150-180cm, Weight: males: 100-155kg, females: 64-82kg. Physical Description Spectacled bears have thick black or brown fur with medium length hair. They have pale yellow bands across the base of nose and sometimes across their foreheads to the cheeks and throat, giving the appearance of a pair of spectacles. Lines or patches of white may also extend onto the chest. Distribution Spectacled bears are the only bear species found in South America. They inhabit the mountainous regions of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela. Habitat Spectacled bears occupy a variety of habitats, including grassland, brush, rainforests, dry forest and coastal scrub desert, although they are typically found in mountain forest. Diet They have a varied diet depending on seasonal and altitudinal food availability, but they favour plants such as bromeliads, palms, orchids and fruits. A lesser part of their diet is made up of nuts, seeds, carrion and small animals.

Bears can be found in Europe, Asia, North and South America and the Arctic but for how much longer? Seven out of the nine bear species are vulnerable or endangered. Asiatic black bears are also known as moon bears because of the crescent shaped marking on their chests. They are found throughout Asia from Pakistan to Japan. The main threats to Asiatic black bears are deforestation and loss of habitat. They often live in hilly or mountainous forest areas, moving to the lower slopes during the winter. Logging leading to deforestation across Asia is a major threat to their survival, as is the encroachment of human settlements. Asiatic black bears are sometimes killed by farmers as they take livestock or strip the bark from valuable timber trees. These bears are also hunted or ‘farmed’ for their gall bladders and other body parts which are used in traditional medicine. The trade seems to be particularly extensive in China, Korea and Japan where prices are increasing.

Ten Facts About Bears
Bears are large animals with thick, strong legs. Bears have big heads, little eyes and small round ears. All bears are covered with heavy fur. Bears can see and hear like us. Bears have a very good sense of smell. Bears can stand on their hind legs to smell and see better. Bears are smart and curious animals. There are 8 different kinds of bears - brown bears, American black bears, polar bears, giant panda bears, Asiatic black bears, sloth bears, spectacled bears and sun bears. Brown bears are also called grizzly bears. Bears live in all parts of the world, except Africa, Australia and Antarctica.

SUBFAMILY TREMARCTINAE
Tremarctos ornatus F.G. Cuvier, 1825
From Ian Stirling, ed. Bears, Majestic Creatures of the Wild
Emmaus, Pennsylvania: Rodale Press, 1993. 240 pages.
APPEARANCE The spectacled bear is small and dark, ranging in color from black to brown, and a few have a reddish tinge. It has distinctive circular or semicircular creamy white markings on the face around the eyes, reminiscent of specta cles. Lines and patches of white usually extend onto the throat and chest as well. The amount and pattern of the white markings can be quite variable.
SIZE There are few measurements available for this bear. However, the body length of adults is about 150 to 180 centimeters (60 to 72 inches) and males may be 30 to 40 percent larger than females. Males weigh 100 to 155 kilograms (220 t o 340 pounds) and females weigh 64 to 82 kilograms (140 to 180 pounds). At birth, cubs weigh from 300 to 360 grams (10 to 11 1/2 ounces).
HABITAT Spectacled bears are highly adaptable and are found in a wide range of habitats, including rainforest, cloud forest, dry forest, steppe lands, and coastal scrub desert. Possibly because of loss of habitat and persecution by huma ns, they appear to be more common in heavy forest. They have been reported at altitudes ranging from about 180 to 4,200 meters (600 to 13,800 feet) but prefer moist forests between about 1,800 and 2,700 meters (6,000 and 8,800 feet). No populations have been documented from areas that lack bromeliads and fruits.

Tremarctos ornatus
photo by Phillip Coffey Physical Appearance: The South American spectacled bear has excellent eyesight and gets its name from the markings around their eyes. These markings are unique to each individual and can be used for identification. Geographic Range: Spectacled bears are found in the Andes Mountains of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru. Status: Vulnerable Threats to Survival: There are an estimated 2000 to 2400 remaining in the wild. The bears are endangered because of habitat loss. They are also hunted for their fur and meat. Even though it is illegal to hunt the bears, it is very difficult to enforce. Habitat: Historically found from dry coastal deserts, to rainforests, to treeless alpine areas above 4000 meters. Habits: Primarily vegetarian, the spectacled bear feeds on fruit and leaves. Captive Breeding: Gerald Durrell first brought a male spectacled bear, Pedro, to the Jersey Zoo in 1963. A female on loan from the Brookfield Zoo, Chicago, USA was successfully mated with Pedro and the first two litters were born in 1972 and 1974. 5 spectacled bears are currently in the Jersey collection.

Most bears eat nuts, fruit, berries, plants, insects, honey, fish and other animals. Polar bears eat seals which they catch out on the ice in the Arctic Ocean. Giant panda bears eat the leaves of the bamboo plant. Bears must get big to get ready for winter. To eat as much as a big bear, we would have to eat 50 hamburgers and 12 large orders of french fried potatoes each day for many weeks.

All About Bears
There are 8 different kinds of bears - American black bears, polar bears, giant panda bears, Asiatic black bears, sloth bears, spectacled bears, sun bears and brown bears which are also known as grizzly bears. Where Do Bears Live?
42 states
. They also inhabit 11 Canadian provinces . Grizzly bears (also known as brown bears) and polar bears also inhabit North America. The most common bear in Idaho is the Ursus americanus otherwise known as the American black bear. Baby bears are called cubs, female bears are called sows and male bears are called boars Bears in Idaho
People who live in Idaho are lucky to share their forests with a few grizzlies and a lots of black bears. As many as 20,000 black bears inhabit Idaho , but if you go looking for truly black bears, you might be surprised! In Idaho, you are as likely to see a black bear that is brown as you are to see a black bear that is black. Black bears that live in the western states are often various shades of brown similar to grizzly bears.

The main types are brown bears, American black bears, Asiatic black bears,panda bears, polar bears, sun bears, sloth bears, and spectacled bears.

The Topic:
Bears
Easier - A bear is a large, heavy and powerful animal with thick, shaggy fur and very short tail. Bears are omnivorous. They may eat plants, honey, insects, fish, and small animals. There are several kinds of bears, such as a brown bear, black bear, polar bear, and a grizzly bear. Harder Bears live alone; they never gather in groups except during the summer mating season when a pair may be together for a month. The solitary female gives birth to one to four cubs during the winter sleep period. Cubs grow rapidly but remain with their mother for one or two years. Bears often spend much of their winter sleeping, a state that some call hibernation. Other scientists maintain that bears do not truly hibernate because their body temperature does not drop greatly and some become active on mild days. Zoologists usually recognize eight species of bears with several subspecies or varieties. The main types are brown bears, American black bears, Asiatic black bears, panda bears, polar bears, sun bears, sloth bears, and spectacled bears. Until recently, some zoologists maintained that pandas were part of the raccoon family or belonged to their own mammal family. However, genetic testing now indicates that pandas are indeed bears.
