3 Did you know ...

... that Winnie-the-Pooh has Canadian origin?

The character of Winnie-the-Pooh, the famous bear created by Alan Alexander Milne, was inspired by Winnipeg, or Winnie, a female black bear that lived in London Zoo from 1915 until her death in 1934. She was bought as a small cub for $20 (probably from the hunter who had shot her mother) at a stop in White River, Ontario, by Lieutenant Harry Colebourn, who named her after his home city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. She was the pet animal and the mascot of the regiment where he served. It was in 1914 during the First World War and the Canadian regiment was going to the West Front to France through London. Before leaving for France Lt. Harry Colebourn left Winnie at London Zoo. There she was much loved for her playfulness and gentleness. Among her fans was A.A. Milne's son, Christopher Robin, who loved Winnipeg so much that he changed the name of his own teddy bear from “Edward Bear” to “Winnie-the-Pooh”. A.A. Milne's stories about Winnie-the-Pooh have become children's favourite.

3 Вы знали ..., что Винни-Пух имеет канадское происхождение?

Ответ: No, I didn't know that. It is interesting to learn that the character was inspired by a real bear named Winnipeg. (Нет, я этого не знал. Интересно узнать, что персонаж был вдохновлен настоящей медведицей по имени Виннипег.)
