Full title:

Rare spectacled bear being 'driven to extinction' by penis bone poachers brewing 'magical sex potion'

Penis poaching of the spectacled bear could result in the species going extinct if demand grows for the special 'sex potion' that people make with its private parts. ..."

According to National Geographic, some people in South America claim the 'sex drink' can cure sexual performance problems if it contains just a scraping of a spectacled bear's penis bone.

Some people also believe that the beverage can give you the strength of a whole bear if you put the entire penis bone in the concoction.

The 'sex drink' is called Seven Roots and is said to be made of white rum, seven types of tree bark, honey, pollen, a snake's head, the huanarpo macho plant and a spectacled bear's penis bone.

Traditional healers sell this drink to customers in Peru.

Sounds like there’s a market opening for a Cialis distributor in that part of the jungle.

The spectacled bear

The spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus), also known as the Andean bear, Andean short-faced bear, or mountain bear and locally as jukumari (Aymara and Quechua[2]), ukumari (Quechua) or ukuku, is the last remaining short-faced bear (subfamily Tremarctinae).

Its closest relatives are the extinct Florida spectacled bear,[3] and the giant short-faced bears of the Middle to Late Pleistocene age (Arctodus and Arctotherium).[4][5]

Spectacled bears are the only surviving species of bear native to South America, and the only surviving member of the subfamily Tremarctinae.

The species is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN because of habitat loss.

Those poor bears. Killed for such foolishness.
Years ago, there used to be talk of an aphrodisiac called Spanish Fly.
That only killed a certain kind of Beetle.

The Chinese are the #1 buyers of animal body parts and live animals, including critically endangered species. They don't give a flying fig about whether the species involved will be wiped out; they just want to be able to get it up--as if there aren't enough Chinese in the world. Or, they just want to make the big bucks selling the animals parts. There is a woman quoted in this article, not a Chinese, who expressed the fact that she couldn't care less if she participated in the extinction of a species, so long as she made money from it. Look, the Chinese kill human political prisoners to market their body parts for transplants, don't they?

They utilize the most diabolically cruel ways to house and kill animals there. For that alone, they could nuke all of China and I wouldn't care.

The first one was too hard, the second one was too soft, and the third one was just right.

(I'll see myself out.)

Distribution and habitat

Despite some rare spilling-over into eastern Panama,[18] spectacled bears are mostly restricted to certain areas of northern and western South America.

They can range in western Venezuela,[19] Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, western Bolivia, and northwestern Argentina.

The species is found almost entirely in the Andes Mountains.

Before spectacled bear populations became fragmented during the last 500 years, the species had a reputation for being adaptable, as it is found in a wide variety of habitats and altitudes throughout its range, including cloud forests, high-altitude grasslands, dry forests and scrub deserts.

A single spectacled bear population on the border of Peru and Ecuador inhabited as great a range of habitat types as the world’s brown bears (Ursus arctos) now occupy.[11]

The best habitats for spectacled bears are humid to very humid montane forests.

These cloud forests typically occupy a 500 to 1,000 m (1,600 to 3,300 ft) elevational band between 1,000 and 2,700 m (3,300 and 8,900 ft) depending on latitude.

Generally, the wetter these forests are the more food species there are that can support bears.[11][20]

Occasionally, they may reach altitudes as low as 250 m (820 ft), but are not typically found below 1,900 m (6,200 ft) in the foothills.

They can even range up to the mountain snow line at over 5,000 m (16,000 ft) in elevation.[6][11][21]

Glad i’m not a bear. Having a sack to protect is enough to worry about let alone a bone to break.

Sure seems to be a LOT of critter-killing limps in the world.
