Moon Bears (also called Asiatic Black Bears) are a species of black bear found in China and Vietnam. They’re called a Moon Bear because of the crescent shaped mark they have on their bodys!

They are awesome animals, probably don’t get enough recognition because of their much more popular relative, The Giant Panda living so close by!
