Andean Bear Exhibit
Advertisements

The Andean Bear Exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C. showcases these unique bears with whitish or cream spectacles around their eyes. The bears have thick coats that are usually black or brown, with each individual having a distinctive set of markings. These bears are the only bear species in South America and are found in the Andes and surrounding mountain ranges.

Visitors can observe the Andean bears climbing trees and foraging for fruits, berries, and small animals. The Zoo provides a dry-food mixture, vegetables, and fruits for the bears' diet. Spectacled bears are primarily active at night and sleep in secluded spots during the day.

Breeding season for the Andean bears occurs from April to June, with females giving birth to one or two cubs between November and February. Unfortunately, habitat destruction and hunting pose significant threats to the survival of these bears.

The Andean Bear Exhibit is part of the Smithsonian's National Zoo, which also houses Asian elephants, pygmy slow lorises, and a diverse array of bird species. Visitors can support the Zoo through donations and memberships, which offer exclusive benefits and opportunities to meet the animals. The Zoo is free to visit, but entry passes are required for all guests.

"These bears were very unique. They looked like they were big hairy beaver porcupines, but bear like."

"Two separate open exhibits with industrious Andean bears. They are supposed to be the friendliest of the bears. It is fun to see them take a dip into water, come out all drenched, and walk around. This is one of the most accessible bear exhibits we have seen."
