Hercules the bear: 10 photos of Scotland's beloved grizzly

Hercules was a trained grizzly bear from Scotland who found fame appearing in film and TV productions, reaching the height of his popularity in the 1980s.

Scottish wrestler, Andy Robin, bought Hercules for £50 after he found out that he was going to be put down as the park he was born into, Highland Wildlife Park, couldn’t accommodate bears. Do you remember Hercules?
