It's been discovered that bears lived on Dartmoor during this period.

The article from the Herald Express in South Devon says Dartmoor was 'teeming with them'.
The item was also on the local Spotlight south west BBC news tonight. I was not able to concentrate properly as a friend was visiting but am sure it links in with Whitehorse Hill.
The programme 'Inside Out' starts at 8pm on BBC1 and the news of the bear skin is due to be included.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
