In Germany we have saying about lazily "lying on a bearskin" 🥱🐻 - and apparently that's been a thing for at least 300,000 years ...

(As #CutMarks on #CaveBear bones discovered at the #Paleolithic site of #Schöningen in Lower Saxony suggest:)

@Tnicholsmd @KavehMD @IanMNoone I recall that someone replying to one of Bosco’s selfies used the hashtag #cavebear, and I clicked it because I’m interested in cave bears, and that wasn’t what the replier meant. You wouldn’t believe how much body hair some people have, or where they have it. I’m a doctor and had never seen anything quite like it.
