Bear Facts

Bear facts: in comparison to other bear species, relatively little is known about Andean bears.  Here we bring together some information about bear ecology and behavior, and some links to scientific papers and sites about bears.   There are facts and photos of Andean bear cubs and a page with more info about the spectacled bears, as the Andean bears are also known.
Bear Ecology is still not completely understood in the case of the Andean bear, Tremarctos ornatus, but this section includes some of what is known about the bears and their interaction with the ecosystem they live in.  This is the place to find out how big Andean bears are, where the bears live and what they eat.

Bear Behavior - feeding behavior, how the Andean bears interact with each other, behavior in the wild and how bears behave in captivity.
