    Wojtek is probably the most famous non-fictional bear of all time. He is fondly remembered many decades later for his contribution to the war. He is also still heavily discussed amongst Polish people to this very day. He's almost like a folk hero in some aspects.

    Never heard about this fight with other bear. What i think is important too, is that Wojtek, while in the Zoo, never liked being with other bears, eventually been given his own pen. He liked humans more. Always got cheerfull hearing polish language. Oh, and oranges weren't the only thing brought by old comrades, as they would sometimes jump into his pen, to wrestle him, just like in the old days.
    One more thing to say - everybody gangsta, till a bear starts carrying ammo crates

    Two fun facts:
    1. Wojtek loved eating cigarettes, the were his favorite snack! And the Polish soldiers also snuck those in during their visits to the zoo.
    2. Monte Casino was taken by the Polish during the 4th offensive and there is a photo of Polish soldiers lifting up the Polish flag on the mountain. It very much resembles the photo from Iwo Jima after the Americans had taken it.
    My grandpa told me a story that the English told the Polish soldiers to take their flag down, and put the British flag up instead, because officially the Poles were a part of the British Army.
    The Poles responded by immediately putting their rifles up and threatening everyone who would dare to come close. The issue needed to be resolved by the superiors of the two sides, who decided to leave the Polish flag there.
    Today, there is a great cemetery under monte cassino dedicated to the Polish army.

      Have you got a source for #2 other than your grandpa? I know a lot about the battle and I've heard about the polish participation, one of their military songs 'czerwone maki na monte cassino' comes from it. But I've never heard a single thing about the British objecting them to using their flag when the Brits were fine with every other nation including nations of the commonwealth using theirs.
      If you haven't I'd suggest everyone treat it with a grain of salt. The amount of myths that have been created about WW2 by people claiming they 'were told a story about X by Mein Opa' has become so notorious it's literally a meme.

He got there thanks to a Canadian soldier and veterinarian named Harry Colebourn. WW1. It all started in White River, Ontario. Harry was at a train station where he bought a little bear cub for $20. That would be about $429 in today’s dollars! He named the cub “Winnipeg Bear” after the town he grew up in. That’s where the name “Winnie” comes from, it’s actually a nickname!

    You forgot to mention the time that Wojtek captured a spy, by cornering the man and causing him to scream so loud that it alerted guards. The interrogation was also very funny, with the soldier simply threatening to get the bear back in, at which point the spy gave up his secrets

      It's kinda hard to provide the right environment for a bear. Whit the Polish army he had the right company ( battle hardend soldiers who can take a beating ), a lot of freedom ( he wasn't really restricted from roaming around but choose to stay near them ) and of course the fact they raised him helpt a lot too.
      I don't think one can provide all that to this extend.

    Some things in life are timeless. Any animal stories of how they assist is always appreciated.

    Imagine being an Italian scout you make it to the hill. Find some cover and you take out your binoculars. You see the enemy and their artillery.
    And suddenly you see a FUCKING BEAR helping carrying the ammunition.
