But, have you ever heard of bears with glasses? No, not the bears who appear on the Cartoon Network on TV. Real bears.</p> <figure class="image-portrait-right has-caption"> <a href="https://www.pitara.com/media/earth-61_1.gif" aria-label="Link to larger image"> <img src="https://www.pitara.com/media/earth-61_1_hu_615a0133b24d1fd6.gif" width="450" height="563" alt="The spectacled bear [Illustration by Shridevi]" loading="lazy"> </a> <figcaption>The spectacled bear [Illustration by Shridevi]</figcaption> </figure> <p>There is a kind of bear which lives in the forests of South America. It is called the &lsquo;spectacled bear,&rsquo; or the Tremarctos Ornatus.</p> <p>It has white coloured fur around its eyes, which makes it look like it is wearing glasses. Some of these bears have only the bottom half of their glasses, whereas in some others the eye rings are so thick that they completely fill up the face.</p>
