Spectacled bears are the only surviving species of bear native to South America.
Second only to the closely related Giant Panda, as the most endangered species of bear in the world.
I know all the bears in the world, but never have I seen a Spectacled Bear with an orange face before! The Sun Bear is my favorite of all bears, before the Giant Panda! I really wish that people would stop hunting animals such as the Bengal Tiger and the Polar Bear. I care about all animals, thats why 'am going to be a vet when I grow up. And the Long-faced bear is extinct, it lived in the ice-age! names Gabrielle by the way

Aww. He's orange! It's so.. exotic. I am looking for a good picture for school. In school, we are learning about bears. It's so sad that a lot of them are endangered... and the Sloth Bear is my favorite, though. I thought their face or body was going to be speckled... HE iS ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
