It’s easy to see how the spectacled bear got its name. The markings on its face make it look like it’s wearing glasses. These interesting animals are found only in the wild in the Andes Mountains of South America, for they like dense cloudy forests. Andean bears have sharp claws that help them be splendid climbers, which is nessacary. First because they spend the majority of their time in trees, in addition, to the fact that they create their nest high in trees. Normally they sleep there.

Also, they are nearly vegetarians; about 5% of their diet is meat. Often times they eat plants, leaves, fruit, berries, bark, grasses, and cacti. These brilliant South American bears are just one of God’s many unique creations.
