The Spectacled Bear or Tremarctos ornatus, also known as the Andean Bear and locally as Ukuko, Jukumari or Ucumari, is the last of the lineage of Short-Faced Bears of the Middle Pleistocene to Late Pleistocene age.

Spectacled bears or Tremarctos ornatus are medium sized bears that are typically uniformly black in color, but reddish-brown individuals have been observed.

The common name spectacled bears comes from the white or tan markings on the face that create rings around the eyes; these lighter markings often extend down the chest, forming a bib-like patch of light fur.

The lighter markings are highly variable, unique to each individual, and may be absent altogether. The coat is of medium to long length.

Spectacled bears or Tremarctos ornatus have a short tail, that is often completely hidden by the fur. They have a stocky build, small round ears, a thick short neck, and a stout muzzle. The spectacled bear is equipped with a plantigrade stance and the front limbs are longer than their hind limbs.
