Anomaly Description: is a medium-sized bear of the species Ursus americanus (the American black bear) that lacks a visible head. It is superficially almost identical to a typical adult female of the species. However, the anomaly's head abruptly disappears at the base of the neck, where it meets the shoulders, as if sliced off.

A cursory examination reveals that does in fact possess a head, albeit one that is invisible. 's head is tangible and often elicits a positive, relaxed response when pet. Despite this, is still highly territorial, comparable to normal bears, and is liable to attack those who get too close. possesses a bite strength that is slightly stronger than most members of its species, with a bite force quotient of 70 (as opposed to the average 64).

The resulting cross-section appears normal to the human eye, although objects that are ingested by only become visible once they enter the portion of the throat that appears in the cross-section. Despite this obvious abnormality, appears to be in perfect health. Tasks such as feeding, self-defense, and drinking take place as usual without any apparent difficulties. does not appear to hibernate during the winter for unknown reasons.
