[London Review Bookshop @LRBbookshop]

it is absolutely ridiculous that every bookshop in central london is still obliged to carry out "bear drills", in case the bears escape from london zoo. firstly there is no evidence they would particularly target bookshops. secondly the zoo hasn't had any bears since 2008.

Tapestry fragment of a chained bear with a ragged staff, heraldic emblem of the Jouvenel des Ursins family #Heraldry #LesArmoiriesDuVendredi #bearhistory (link to bears with the name Ursins & there's also acanthus which is 'ursine' in French...). 15th c. Tournai, now in Louvre

Starting conversations around lynx reintroduction. There is an archaeological record of lynx, from England, Scotland and Wales.

Quite a bit of 🐻 representation in this play. Will there be bears in the town?
