眼鏡熊 (Tremarctos ornatus) 是一種中型的熊科動物，原生於南美洲的安第斯山區。牠有著厚厚的黑色皮毛，臉部和胸口有白色斑紋。跟其他熊科動物相比，牠的臉部較扁，可以看出牠與已經滅絕的短面熊有著近親關係。眼鏡熊跟其他熊科動物一樣，兩性異形極為明顯，雌熊的體型遠遠小於雄熊。雄眼鏡熊的站立肩高為 76 公分到 91 公分，體重為 100 公斤到 200 公斤，雌熊的站立肩高則為 60 公分到 73 公分，體重只有 35 公斤到 82 公斤。

Animal Facts
The spectacled bear is the last remaining short-faced bear in the world, with the last related genuses going extinct about 12,000 years ago.
While the spectacled bear is the largest carnivore in much of its South American range, only around 5% of its diet actually consists of meat.
The spectacled bear is known as 'jukumari' in the Aymara and Quechua languages, or as 'ukumari' in Quechua.
The scientific name of the spectacled bear's genus, 'Tremarctos', is made up of the Greek words for 'hole' and 'bear', referring to a distinct hole in the bear's upper arm bone.
Spectacled bears are highly arboreal and will sleep and hide in trees.
