I believe the Andean bear to be more closely related to the panda bear ( giant panda ) than to the genus Ursus.

I think the giant panda and the Andean bear group should be regrouped into a same subfamily.
Since they look quite alike to each other.
Considering that the Andean bear and panda bear are related...

They make unique vocalizations that are quite "un-bear-like": a shrill screech and a soft, purring sound. Mother bears may use different vocalizations to communicate with their cubs. *Note: Considering that the panda bear and the Andean bear are closely related, could it be that the short-faced bears in general were more vocal than bears of the genus Ursus?

When soft, juicy fruit isn't available, spectacled bears employ massive jaw muscles – rivalled among bears only by the giant panda – to munch tougher, more fibrous greenery. They've also got a strong taste for bromeliads: one local name for the creature, oco achupayero, means "bromeliad-eating bear". Also consider that neither the Andean bear nor the panda bear hibernate.

http://www.bearsoftheworld.net/spectacled_bears.asp The spectacled bear Tremarctos ornatus, also known as the Andean bear, is the only living bear species that is native to South America. They are the sole survivors of a subfamily of short-faced bears that ranged across North and South America during the last ice age. The spectacled bear is one of the most endangered bear species in the world, second only to the giant panda bear, to which they are the closest related.
