The cinnamon bear (Ursus americanus cinnamomum) is both a highly variable color morph and a subspecies of the American black bear, native to the United States and Canada.
As a subspecies, they therefore most likely exist alongside the mostly black-colored eastern American black bears present in those regions, and breed with them. The most striking difference between a cinnamon bear and any other black bear is its brown or red-brown fur, reminiscent of cinnamon.

Medium-sized woodpecker of rainforest. Note compact shape and uniform brown coloration with a pale bill. Often with mixed-species flocks, occurring from the mid-story to the canopy. Climbs trunks and large branches in typical woodpecker fashion; explores bark crevices and arboreal termite nests. Superficially similar to Chestnut Woodpecker but is less richly colored and much smaller.

Unusual medium-sized bird of forest canopy in Amazonia. Dark blue overall with bare, wrinkly blue skin on the neck and a pale bill. Males have pale gray wing patches. Perches at the tops of trees in the rainforest canopy and is frequently seen flying across rivers and forest clearings. In flight, often holds its neck outstretched with small head drooping slightly. Sometimes can seem to disappear from a site for periods of time, as it is partly nomadic and follows seasonal fruiting events.
