yes...I got a Brumas the bear. My aunt Alice had something to do with London Zoo( Was on some committee or other...I can't really see her shovelling elephant poo...she was far too posh for that) she sent me one, but I was never allowed to play with it. It was kept in pristine condition and always on show when she came for a visit.
