Spectacled bears are the only species of bears that live in South America. They have been identified around Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru.
They are able to successfully develop a variety of conditions that include forest areas, desert scrub and mountain pastures. Spectacled bears are omnivores. They are able to successfully eat plants resident in the wild.
These bears will be ready to mate around four years of age. The females will create a nest, where they will give birth to their young. The young are born around February, the mothers are very protective of their young and the size of the litter is usually two puppies.
By reason of the forest destruction, agriculture and poaching, it is believed that the number of spectacled bears has decreased in the last 20 years. The lack of knowledge about their distribution and status, have been the biggest obstacle to protect them.
