There are eight species of bears - Asiatic black bears, American black bears, brown bears, giant panda, polar bears, sloth bears, spectacled bears and sun bears. They are found all over the world except the South Pole. They are some of the largest land predators around. Most bears will eat just about anything from plants, berries to other animals.

Our collection comprises one more species of bears - the so called spectacled bear, the only species inhabiting South America. Being similar to the Asiatic and American black bears in measurments, most spectacled bears have yellowish rings round the eyes, but some individuals can bear no marks at all. For example, the male living in our Zoo demonstrates no mark, whereas the female "wears" wonderful, light yellow "spectacles". The spectacled bears being tropical heat-loving animals, we keep them not in the bear house, but in the warm building erected for tropical predators - lions, jaguars, etc. This building is old enough, and we try to maintain it, making more convenient for animals as well as attractive in its appearances for visitors. As to the open-air part of the cage owned by our spectacled bears, it is empty - because the male is fond of taking to pieces everything within reach, including the floor and even the ceiling of the cage. That's why we had to strengthen it with steel framework. Moreover, our specialists managed to mount gymnastic apparatus for the bears to do their "morning exercises". It turned very difficult to find a partner for our male to couple with. At last we have brought a female from Kazan, but she is twelve years older than the male, and they are unlikely to breed. Anyhow, we don't loose hopes.

51. Spectacled Bear Facts In reference to other bears, the spectacled bear is of intermediate size, withthe adult male measuring between 1,5 and 2 meters in length (headbody length http://www.cecalc.ula.ve/bioinformatica/oso/spectacled_bear_cont.htm

The Spectacled bear or A ndean bear, Tremarctos ornatus (F. Cuvier 1825), is the only representative of the f amily Ursidae that inhabits South America. Their distribution ranges from the Andean mountainous areas of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru to Bolivia; having isolated reports of sightings in the South e ast of Panama ( b order with Colombia), and the North of Argentina bordering Bolivia. Within this wide geographic range , the Spectacled bear occupies a large diversity of habitats, with altitudes ranging from 250 to higher than 4,000 meters above se a level. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SPECIES In reference to other bears, the Spectacled bear is of intermediate size, with the adult male measuring between 1 5 and 2 meters in length (head-body length) and the female measuring 2/3 the size of the male. The fur is usually black, but some individuals can exhibit brownish shades. A distinguished characteristic of this bear is the presence of white or yellowish markings in the snout, around the eyes, neck and chest. The shape and extension of the markings varies among individuals and it’s not rare to find individuals with their faces completely black.

52. Captivity Breeding Of The Spectacled Bear In Venezuela register is published annually, together with an inventory of data showing the differentcountries around the world possessing spectacled bears in captivity. http://www.cecalc.ula.ve/bioinformatica/oso/captivity_cont.htm

What is a Studbook?. The Studbook is an international genealogical register of endangered, threatened or in any case rare animal species kept in captivity. The task of keeping the Studbook is entrusted to the person with the expertise on the species in question or a zoological park possessing a good number of specimens or a successful record of live births in captivity. In this way, we can keep certain control over the existing patrimony of each threatened species in the zoos, know their numerical quantity and any changes in it, as well as the longevity of the specimens and the possibilities of exchange for the purposes of reproduction among the different parks around the world. In addition to being a center for the research on this species, both in the field and in captivity, Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago has coordinated the Spectacled bear’s Studbook since 1983. This register is published annually, together with an inventory of data showing the different countries around the world possessing Spectacled bears in captivity. Covers of some Studbooks published by Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago.

53. Daytime Activity And Stereotyped Behavior In The Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos Orn Task Observe the daytime activity of three spectacled bears with specialemphasis on stereotyped behavior in a temporary enclosure. http://www.zoovienna.at/old/e_brillbaer.html

Daytime activity and stereotyped behavior in the Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus) Practical work by Barbara Hajas , September 2000 Advisor: Dr. Dagmar Schratter (zoo) Univ. Prof. Dr. Bubna-Littitz (University of Veterinary Medicine) Task Observe the daytime activity of three spectacled bears with special emphasis on stereotyped behavior in a temporary enclosure. What are stereotyped behaviours? Stereotyped behaviors are types of behavior and activities that, under unnatural situations, are always repeated in the same manner. They are often the result of keeping animals in cages that are too small, but also occur when social animals are held separately or when boredom sets in. Examples: Treading back and forth along the same route for hours on end, permanently swaying the body back and forth, continually turning the head. Method Written protocols, stopwatch, observation period: 3 weeks Results The animals show no reaction to the visitors' attempts to attract their attention (knocking, calling, throwing stones, clapping) The bears show no fixed daily rhythm Social interactions rarely occur. Play behavior could not be documented, with the exception of "sniffing after others", occasional "paw slaps" and "growling".

Bears occupy a wide range of habitats and their diet varies according to the season and where they live. The brown bear occurs in parts of western Europe, Siberia, Japan and North America. In France, WWF is working to protect the only remaining population of brown bears left in the country, and which is threatened by a road construction project. The Asiatic black bear lives in central and eastern Asia and is particularly threatened by trade. Also known as the moon bear, it has a distinctive crescent-shaped mark on its chest. The American black bear is the most abundant - the population now numbers more than half a million.

56. Andean Bear - Tremarctos Ornatus spectacled bears live along the slopes of the Andes mountains fromVenezuela to Peru. Protection for spectacled bears is minimal. http://www.sanmartinzoo.org/images/animals/bearANDEAN.html

Threatened Andean Species at the Ecozoological San Martin Return to Zoo Photos Andean Bear Tremarctos ornatus (Spectacled Bear) SEE SPECIES INFORMATION BELOW ~Click on a thumbnail to see a larger image~ Tremarctos ornatus are the only bears to live in South America. Spectacled bears live along the slopes of the Andes mountains from Venezuela to Peru. Some have been found in eastern Panama and northern Argentina. Lifespan in the wild is unknown but in captivity T. ornatus can reach 20-25 years or more. Spectacled bears are very important to the floral ecology of the forests they inhabit. They are also an important disperser of the tree seeds they consume. They are primarily nocturnal. They sleep between or under large tree roots, on a tree trunk, or in a cave during the day. Their claws are specialized for climbing and they will spend days in trees. While in a tree they sometimes make large platforms out of broken branches which they use to reach fruit. These bears are not hibernators, probably because their food supply is available year round. They are timid and try to avoid humans. These bears are hunted for their meat, fur, fat, grease, and bile. The meat is especially liked in northern Peru. The fat is said to cure rheumatism and arthritis. South American farmers have persecuted these bears for attacking their livestock. Some bears have been known to kill a cow every day until they were killed. Farmers also consider the bears to be a threat to maize fields. Special pesticides are sprayed onto the fields to keep the bears away. Sometimes whole families of bears are destroyed by these poisons. The actual damage done from these bears may be overestimated and in reality is caused by birds and forest rodents.

Where We Learned About Bears We really enjoyed Frank Asch's books about bears. They had a simple story with a beginning, middle, and an end. Bear always had a problem to solve or a lesson to learn! The illustrations of the Bear made him seem unique. He was illustrated using solid colors and outlined in other colors. These are the books that we read. How many books have you read? For more information about Frank Asch click on his name and visit his website. Here you will find fun stuff for teachers, readers, games, and an interview with Frank Asch. Have you ever lost anything? If so, you will love this book by Jules Feiffer. It is about a little girl who always loses her things. One day she lost her bear. Her family gave her all kinds of advice on how to find it. She is really sad because no one will help her. Did she find her bear? Well, you will have to read this book to find out. NonFiction Books The Real Bears This book has great pictures and facts about all kinds of bears: brown bears, black bears, Asiatic black bears, polar bears, sun bears, sloth bears, spectacled bears, and panda bears. One picture even shows a polar bear trying to get into a school bus! The glossary and the index helped us find our information faster. Nature's Wild: Bears by Donald Olsen. Advance Publishers

58. Spectacled Bear Physical Characteristic Male spectacled bears can weigh between 28044Opounds, while females are much smaller, only weighing 80-145 pounds. http://www.rossparkzoo.com/virtualtour/cejadeselva/bears.htm

Pict 1 Pict 2 Pict 3 Spectacled Bear (Andean Bear) Tremarctos Ornatus Physical Characteristic: Male Spectacled Bears can weigh between 280-44O pounds, while females are much smaller, only weighing 80-145 pounds. Their body length is 4-6 feet, with a 2 3/4" tail in most cases. Probably their best known characteristic is their yellowish brown markings which encircle their eyes, resembling spectacles. These markings can vary between individual bears. Habits: Although Spectacled Bears have been observed in family groups, they are primary solitary animals. They are excellent climbers and are known to forage and build large nests in the trees, which are used as day-beds. Unlike other bears, who go in a deep sleep for part of the year, these bears remain active year round. Diet: Although these bears exhibit a highly herbivorous diet, they still are considered omnivores. They feed largely on succulent Bromeliad hearts, petioles of palm fronds, fruits and cacti. They also eat insects, carrion and occasionally domestic cattle, deer, llamas and guanacos (wild llamas). Habitat: They prefer altitudes ranging between 650-14,000 feet. Although humid forests are their first choices as habitat, grasslands and lower lying scrub deserts are also used.

Bears Polar bears in the Arctic; black bears, brown bears, grizzly bears, in North America bears throughout the Andes; black bears in the Himalayas and south-east Asia; brown bears from western Europe to Kamchatka and from the Near East to Japan; sloth bears in India and Ceylon; and sun bears in Burma, Malaya and Sumatra. A Native American saying holds: "A pine needle fell. The eagle saw it. The deer heard it. The bear smelled it." The majority, polar bears excluded, are forest bears in greater or lesser degree, because although omnivorous, they are predominately vegetarian, with berries, nuts, grass and fruits an essential part of their diet. Forests also provide shelter in which the male bear can find a den in the winter and the female bear rear their cubs. The forest also poses as a refuge from the torment of man's ways. Some of the Himalayan black bears inhabit arid plateaus of rock and scrub. A southern race of black or brownish bear live in the parched mountains of northern Peru. Loss of habitat is widely understood to be the most serious long-term threat to the survival of bears, especially grizzly bears, in British Columbia.
