"After the war, Voytek retired to the Edinburgh zoo, and the rest of his company settled in the area around him. They visited him frequently, tossing him cigarettes and beer over the fence, and occasionally jumping the barricades to wrestle with him again."
This image totally cracked me up. I can just imagine the zookeepers going totally bonkers over drunk polack WWII veterans climbing fences to wrestle a drunken bear.
"Is okay, me and Voytek, we old buddies!"
This totally redefines the concept of grizzled old veterans.
