Pooh was based on a real-life black bear cub purchased by a Canadian vet from a trapper in 1914.
The vet eventually left the bear with the London Zoo, where a little boy named Christopher Robin would often visit the bear. That boy's dad? A. A. Milne, the author of the Winnie-the-Pooh book series.
Finding Winnie's other big bombshell: WINNIE IS NOT A DUDE. She's a lady bear.
Uh, YEAH:
So there you have it: Canadian, female, and a terrible honey addict. POOH DREAMS = SHATTERED.
What do you think, tho? Do you believe the hype? Or are you, too, a Pooh TRUTHER?
