The Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus), also known as the Andean Bear and locally as ukuko, jukumari or ucumari is the last remaining ‘short-faced’ bear. The Spectacled Bear is a relatively small species of bear native to South America, where it is second only to the 3 tapir species as the largest extant land mammal. It has black fur with a distinctive beige-coloured marking across its face and upper chest, though not all Andean bears have “spectacle” markings. They are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List. (Wiki.)
