AMAZING ASIAN ANIMALS: ANSWER PAGE
Mystery Animal #6 Answer: Bears -- Asiatic Black Bear (a.k.a. Moon Bear), Malayan Sun Bear (pictured), Polar Bear
There are eight species of bears in the world. Of the eight, only North American black bears and South American spectacled bears do not live in Asia. The Asiatic black bear, a.k.a. the moon bear, and the Malayan sun bear, have cream-colored markings on their chests that look like the moon and the sun, respectively. Brown and polar bears live in Asia and, across the Bering Straight, in North America.
