Question: What is the scientific name for the bear that Manny Puig deals with?

Context paragraphs:
Polar bear: The polar bear ("Ursus maritimus") is a carnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses.  It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear ("Ursus arctos middendorffi").  A boar (adult male) weighs around 350 – , while a sow (adult female) is about half that size.  Although it is the sister species of the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice and open water, and for hunting seals, which make up most of its diet.  Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time on the sea ice.  Their scientific name means "maritime bear" and derives from this fact.  Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present.  Because of their dependence on the sea ice, polar bears are classified as marine mammals.

L-number: An L-number is not a formal scientific designation, but it allows people to identify various loricariid catfish by a "common name" before the fish is officially described.  When a loricariid receives an official scientific name, the L-number (or numbers) is retired.  and best practice is then to use the scientific name.

Author citation (zoology): In zoological nomenclature, author citation refers to listing the person (or team) who first makes a scientific name of a taxon available.  This is done in a scientific publication while fulfilling the formal requirements under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, hereinafter termed "the Code".  According to the Code, "the name of the author does not form part of the name of a taxon and its citation is optional, although customary and often advisable" (Article 51.1), however Recommendation 51A suggests: "The original author and date of a name should be cited at least once in each work dealing with the taxon denoted by that name.  This is especially important in distinguishing between homonyms and in identifying species-group names which are not in their original combinations".  For the purpose of information retrieval, the author citation and year appended to the scientific name, e.g. genus-species-author-year, genus-author-year, family-author-year, etc., is often considered a "de facto" unique identifier, although for a number of reasons discussed below, this usage may often be imperfect.

American black bear: The American black bear ("Ursus americanus") is a medium-sized bear native to North America.

El Puig: El Puig (] ), officially El Puig de Santa Maria since 2012 (also known as El Puig d'Enesa or El Puig de Cebolla), is a village situated 15 km north of the city of Valencia in the comarca of Horta Nord, Spain.  Its name means "hill" in Valencian).  The municipality comprises three main areas, the first being the village itself, which is dominated by a monastery, and two large wooded hills next to it, the largest of which has the ruins of a castle fortress at the top.  Originally, however, there was another hill named La Pedrera (i.e. the Stone Quarry) which disappeared gradually during the 20th century to make way for the V-21 motorway, with the rock being used to construct one of the jetties at Valencia's port.  The second section is the coastal area of 4 km of beach with eight housing developments that are generally only inhabited in the summer; and finally, there is an industrial park located between them.

Nomen novum: In biological nomenclature, a nomen novum (Latin for "new name"), new replacement name (or replacement name, new substitute name, substitute name) is a technical term.  It indicates a scientific name that is created specifically to replace another scientific name, but only when this other name can not be used for technical, nomenclatural reasons (for example because it is a homonym: it is spelled the same as an existing, older name); it does not apply when a name is changed for taxonomic reasons (representing a change in scientific insight).  It is frequently abbreviated, "e.g." "nomen nov.", "nom.  nov.", or more explicitly by the rank specified, "e.g." "superordo nov."

Synonym (taxonomy): In scientific nomenclature, a synonym is a scientific name that applies to a taxon that (now) goes by a different scientific name, although the term is used somewhat differently in the zoological code of nomenclature.  For example, Linnaeus was the first to give a scientific name (under the currently used system of scientific nomenclature) to the Norway spruce, which he called "Pinus abies".  This name is no longer in use: it is now a synonym of the current scientific name which is "Picea abies".

Papilio ajax: Papilio ajax , is a scientific name given in 1758 by Linnaeus to what later appeared to be a combination of three species of butterflies.  The name was placed on the "Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Specific Names in Zoology" in 1954 after an application to that matter was submitted by Steven Corbet in 1945.  The name no longer has a status as a scientific name, except in cases of homonymy; according to the rules of the "International Code of Zoological Nomenclature" the name "Papilio ajax" can no longer be given to any species.

Pubis Angelical: Pubis Angelical is a 1979 novel by acclaimed Argentine novelist Manuel Puig.  It is perhaps Puig's work most influenced by pop culture.  This can be seen in the montage imitating narrative technique, soap opera and science fiction elements.  Also like other Puig works, it deals with psychological and sexual issues.

Manny Puig: Manny "Sharkman" Puig (born 25 January 1954) is an American wildlife entertainer.  Puig is known for his direct approach when dealing with dangerous animals such as sharks, black bears and American alligators.  He has made frequent appearances on the television shows "Jackass" and "Wildboyz" and also on the Animal Planet show Gator Boys.
