Quite correct, they are Spectacled Bears!
Geez, that's more embarrassing than misidentifying the rhino!

I'm in shock at how many spectacled bears are in this crappy enclosure! There is a lot of bears in there...

Yeah, back in the 70s and 80s the LA zoo mainly focused on quantity instead of quality.
