The ABQ BioPark Zoo is overjoyed to become the home of an Andean bear for the first time in our history! This species is native to the Andes Mountains in northern and western South America, and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss. Andean bears are also called spectacled bear, South American bear, Andean short-faced bear or mountain bear; but you can call this one Ben! Read Ben's story and then come visit him in the renovated habitat near the Cat walk: https://bit.ly/
