- The Andean bear, also known as the spectacled bear, is sometimes called the Paddington bear, after the fictional bear in children's books written by Michael Bond. The spectacled bear is the only bear species in South America, and its numbers are dwindling. In Peru, the Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, a National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World, has set aside land as a rescue center for the bears.

Fun Fact: Spectacled Bears are the only living members of the Tremarctinae bear family.
This group also includes the now extinct Short-Faced bears (Arctodus simus and Arctotherium angustidens)
@The Ambient One
They were
Both measured 6 feet tall on all fours, and 11-12 feet tall on their hind legs
Peru and the United Kingdom, together, should create an organization called Save the Real Paddington Bear to save the species for extinction.
@I Lish!
!! Yes !!
!! Right Now !!
Oh that would be FABULOUS!
I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but I just found out that spectacled bears are a thing, and I'm absolutely smitten! 🥰
Same here!
Me too 🙄
I had no idea that there were actually bears in South America. I thought was some of the appeal of Paddington
Woooow Peru has a beautiful nature
En el norte de Argentina (Jujuy) se encuentran estos osos , son hermosos
Si, a pesar que se colectaron heces y huellas aún no lo encontramos ;c
Africa used to have a bear called the Atlas Bear.
RandomGfan 19 indeed, it was a subspecies of the brown bear
@@simonj3413 Really?
I heard a little of Atlas Bear that once roamed Northwest Africa.
Yes atlas bear is long dead
There also use to be a huge bear in California called the california grizzly bear
am i the only one who finds animals more beautiful that humans sometimes
But we are animals. As for your question...no, you are not the only one. I find myself in the same boat.
+AZ_91 yeah same here
Not sometimes. Always
beethanyy All the time. They're amazing
You should try studying humans not caught up yet in industrial society. Human hatred is very dominant while industry destroys. Check North Sentinel Island. ;)
Looks like the nicest species of bear,
Also probably the most harmless. They are nearly exclusively herbivorous and rarely eat meat at all.
what about panda
itz tiggz nah ! In my oppinion, polar bears and brown bears (especially grizzly bears) are the nicest species of bear.
I watched a documentary about bears and a species in particular caught my attention... The speckled bear. A group found a few and one if the bears they named her Laura... Laura died in this documentary and it broke my heart...
I didn't even know bears existed in South America
What a cute bears.
aww I love south America I wish I could go down there to see the beautiful small towns
Don't tell any rich dentists about them.
Subtle, but OUCH!!! lol
These are protected. you cant hunt them.
@@JustinAbroad yes but, un soudamerica no one kers about dat
Absolutely. This beautiful bear is facing extinction.
Beautiful creatures!
That's amazing, I did not know of this species before!
In Colombia we have many spectacled bears in natural parks and they are protected from hunting
Ok
I got to pick a animal for my Project on science and i pick this bear so i'm learning about this bear!!!!!
They look kinda like Sloth Bears.
They are very related to asian bears
@@pikppa no they're not, they're the last of the Short Faced Bears.
@@pikppa No other bear species is closely related to the spectacled bear
@@giagarex no spectacled bear is more closely related to it’s ancestor tor’s the short faced bear than to other common bears
I love this animal.
They are the image of one of the coins in Colombia. They roam in their natural habitat near to where I live :)
I live in south America and I got to see these bears at a zoo
Better see them in their natural habitat
@@aishwaryasingh6859 Unless the ones outside of the zoos are on the brink of going extinct.
A beautiful beast worthy of protection and conservation.
Tienen que cuidar y preservar esta especie poco comun , the Andes bear , cuando estaba en colegio nos hablaban aserca de este hermoso ejemplar
Desendiente directo del oso prehistorico
Yes we need to help these evo systems survive.. we must help..
I love this bear
I am Infatuated with wild life Especially bears and I pray we change how we do things and we help our wild life live ... we have to help all species of the animal kingdom live...
I heard that spectacled bear is related to the prehistoric Short Faced Bear!!!
Please save only bear specie that lives in Desert!!! Last year there was only 22 of this species left on earth. Gotta save Mazaalai(Gobi bear).
Estimates say hundreds of species a day are wiped out and faster all the time. I worked hard to save some and they died. The reason is industrial society and we cannot step outside of it. It will destroy our species too. There was very little extinction before. I hope you can do whatever possible for the bears you care about and wish you luck. They deserve your help as everything ends and you will have a worthy life for helping.
Here I am,watching this for online class.
Andean bear = spectacled bear = oso de anteojos
I saw one in a zoo in my country Peru, i am sad that humans destroy their habitat and ecosystem
Chingaza Park Colombia there exist bears and deers, those bears come from Black bear of north América

「メガネグマ」南米唯一の熊です。アンデス山脈周辺にのみ生息。目を囲む斑紋が名前の由来です。動きは俊敏で木にも登ります。果実が好物で、肉食からほぼ植物を食べる様に変わりました。家族の絆が強く性格も穏やかで親子は２年間果実を食べながら暮らします。
I desperately want to see a Spectacled Bear
Specs from Barry Tales brought me here.
Why hasn't there been a clear censiment of bears' population? I get it is difficult due to their habitat but still
i am in year 2 and we leand about this
Please save this species it's the only member of the Short Faced Bear family
I just found out about this bear species after watching one eating a cow alive.
Stephen Fry brought me to reflect here about my own country
What are you talking about? Who doesn't think of bears when they think of Machu Picchu???
気候変動で乾燥が続くとメガネグマは山頂へ移動するしか無い。降水量は砂漠地帯と同じ情況。水分をたっぷり蓄えた好物のプロネリアも消滅するだろう。
メガネグマは地上から姿を消すかも。

And Africa does have bears...they're just smaller: they're called 'honey badgers'. Ornery little things they are. And don't respond that honey badgers are in the weasel family, because I'm just-not-tryin to hear that. They're little ornery bears from Africa!
Do these live in asia as well?
i don't think the spectacled bear lives in asia.
When humans move into these animal habitats we are taking from the animal wild life that already lives and breathes in these areas.. when we hunt we take away from there hunting grounds.. same as taking there fish and fruits that they depend on. We need to Replant, regrow, help the salmon flow, help mother earth replenish
PATEL JI
ILovi
Us as humans need to respect the natural animal habitat and help it thrive.. Animals depend on there habitats to provide them with food and water and shelter. And when we humans take away there natural resources we help kill there species...
