Spectacled bears are the only bears native to South America. Also called Andean bears, they are one of four extant bear species that are habitually arboreal. Their diet is predominantly herbivorous with 5-7% composed of meat. This bear species was the inspiration for the documentary Paddington Bear.
Crested couas are only found in the wild in Madagascar. The white silky crest, peach colored upper breast, purple back and tail feathers, and naked patch of light blue skin around the eyes easily distinguish this bird from other coua species on the island. Male and female couas look very similar.
