ZooChatters may be interested to know that the skull of "Ming" London Zoo's famous wartime giant panda is on exhibit at the Hunterian Museum, Royal College of Surgeons,

As the article states, "Ming" arrived as a cub in 1938 and died in 1944. It seems strange, therefore, that the caption on the accompanying picture describes the animal as elderly.
 
Hello Tim

Have you seen the skull of Winnie 'the Pooh', which went on show in the Hunterian Museum just over a year ago?
