Discover the enchanting world of the Spectacled Bear, or Tremarctos ornatus, in the cloud forests of Ecuador, specifically in the regions of Maquipucuna and Pichincha. This elusive and endemic South American bear, the only one of its kind, is a captivating sight as it rests on a tree branch with its distinctive spectacles, looking down at the lush vegetation below. With its black fur and small, round ears, it blends seamlessly into its habitat, the cloud forest and paramo. Witness the power and grace of this magnificent creature as it crosses a stream or leaves its paw prints in the mud. Experience the wonder of the Spectacled Bear up close, whether in its natural environment or in the enclosures of London Zoo.
