熊之师
in their war against nazi germany, the poles even enlisted the help of their pets. one artillery supply unit, for instance, was aided by a syrian brown bear they had raised from a cub. wojtek, known as the soldier bear, became so popular among the soldiers for his personality and efficiency in moving crates of ammunition that his unit's badge was changed to a bear carrying an artillery shell. wojtek smoked cigarettes, drank beer from the bottle, wrestled with the men, and retired to edinburgh zoo after the war.
