A subspecies of the Asiatic black bear, Taiwan's native mammal is also its largest carnivore. The powerful caniforms are 1.2 to 1.9 meters tall, weigh 50 to 200 kilograms and have long, thick brownish-black fur. The distinctive white V-shaped mark on their chests resembles a victory sign, which seems somehow contradictory given their scarce number in Taiwan, though.
