The bear that went to war
WOJTEK STORIES – TRUE OR FALSE?
15. This is a photograph of Wojtek at Edinburgh Zoo.
TRUE
Wojtek is in this photograph – he is the lighter coloured bear on the left-hand side, not the dark bear near the centre of the image.
According to Aileen Orr, author of Wojtek the Soldier Bear: Polish War Hero, there were two bears introduced into Wojtek's enclosure, but he ignored them.
