Brown bears participated in Roman spectacles, read more in our latest paper! @lpcg.bsky.social #BaBBe
At the Roman legionary fortress and provincial capital of Viminacium, modern Serbia, was an amphitheatre #RomanFortThursday
Analysis of a bear cranium found there provides the first direct evidence for the participation of brown bears in Roman spectacles.

During the last ice age, Europe was inhabited by many species of animals, such as mammoths and cave hyenas. We can learn about their history by examining the DNA preserved in their remains with @mateuszbaca.bsky.social

Thanks to #NationalMuseumofScotland for being such wonderful hosts to our students and fantastic collaborators. Your support makes research like this possible!
Was at the National Museum of Scotland to pick up some vole samples and got a tour of their inventory collections. Absolutely amazed by what’s behind the scenes!
