Special Mention | Wildscape & Animals in Their Habitat
The Spectacled or Andean Bear's diet is well-suited to digest the offerings of the rough terrain it calls home. Primarily herbivores, these bears feed on plants like the cactus, bamboo hearts, pine nuts and other fallen fruits. Here, a juvenile bear eats the Espeletia or Frailejones plant, which has thick trunks and hairy leaves.
