EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in August 1921, we are transported back to the London Zoo where a keeper gently cradles a Sloth Bear cub in his arms. The image, captured by Frederick William Bond, showcases the tender bond between man and animal. The Sloth Bear cub is an adorable creature with its fluffy fur and innocent eyes. Also known as the Stickney or Labiated bear, it belongs to the carnivore family and holds a special place in natural history. This snapshot of wildlife at the zoo allows us to witness firsthand the dedication of keepers who work tirelessly to care for these magnificent creatures. The keeper's face radiates warmth and compassion as he gazes down at the tiny bear cub nestled against him. It is evident that he takes great pride in his role as caretaker, ensuring that these precious animals receive all the love and attention they deserve. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards preserving nature's wonders. Through this lens into history, we can appreciate both human ingenuity in creating zoological spaces for education and conservation purposes while recognizing our duty to protect these incredible species for future generations. As we admire this remarkable image from almost a century ago, let us be inspired by those who dedicate their lives to safeguarding our planet's diverse wildlife.
