下面这段话是雕塑下的注解，直接上照片可能看不清楚，故录之：
On August 24, 1914 Lieutenant Harry Colebourn, V.S., of the 34th Fort Garry Horse & Canadian Army Veterinary Corps, puchased a black bear cub at White River, Ontario, while enroute overseas. He named her Winnie after his hometown, Winnipeg. Winnie became the soldiers' mascot, and was left in the care of the London Zoon on December 9th, 1914, while Lieutenant Colebourn served in France. In 1919, he gave her to the Zoo for permanent keeping where she was watched and loved by many, including author A.A. Milne and his son Christopher.
In 1926, A.A. Milne and illustrator E.H. Shepart gave the fictional character Winnie-the-Pooh to Christopher and the world for posterity. Winnie entertained visitors to the London Zoo for almost 20 years, and lives on the hearts of children of all ages.
不过说实话White River啥都没有．很小很小的一个town. 如果你真的热爱Winnie，想追寻她的事迹，那你还不如去迪斯尼．没办法，伟人的故居都是简陋的，伟熊也一样．
不过有家小咖啡馆还挺舒服的，我们停下来喝了杯咖啡然后继续赶路．

科普很有效焱
我的英国senior说winnie是英国人。于是我向她科普了一把。她还是半信半疑。
你问她英国产熊吗？明明偶们kanada才是熊的故乡。
