Spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus)
Mother keeps an eye out as her cub nuzzles for comfort. The spectacled bear, or Andean bear, is the only bear that comes from Peru.
It is vegetarian, usually dining on fruit, leaves, and honey. Numbers of these bears have fallen rapidly due to hunting and loss of habitat, but WLT-funded projects in South America are working to protect them.
