Mother Andean Bear (with her lone cub)

Awww. So sweet!

Wow, that looks so natural. Congratulations! 💓

Gorgeous 💛👏

More Info: The Andean bear has the greatest facial variation of all bears due to differences in the dark and light fur patterns on their face. If you Google image search of these bears, it's obvious how different their faces can look!

The Andean bear's lower lip actually looks like that. All bears have prehensile lips (so do humans, which basically means flexible lips that can grasp and hold onto an object) but the Andean bear's lips are especially good for stripping bears from bushes. They're more herbivorous than any other bear species other than the panda. As little as 5% of their diet is meat, usually small animals, insects and carrion but occasionally larger animals such as llamas, deer and tapirs.

The Andean bear is the only living species left of the 'short faced' bears. Looking at side portraits of their head, their shorter muzzle is obvious. It enables the bear to have stronger muscles designed for grinding the tough plant material that's the main part of their det.

Cutest!
