We lack many quantitative data on the current distributions of several bear species, and hypotheses about the mechanisms underlying those distributions. We raise this point by discussing visual detections of Andean bears (Tremarctos ornatus) in sampling from 14 September 2016 to 24 August 2017 in the Haramba Queros Wachiperi Ecological Reserve Conservation Concession in southeastern Peru, at 811-920 m above sea level, lower in elevation than >90% of known locations for this species on the eastern slope of the Peruvian Andes.
