According to a new book, 'Finding Winnie: The True Story of The world's Most Famous Bear,' Winnie is not British, but Canadian. And also, Winnie is a girl. Shocking? Everything we've known up till now may be a lie!

Pooh is based on a real-life bear cub raised by a Canadian vet back in 1914 who eventually donated the animal to the London Zoo.

The bear was named Winnie after its native Winnipeg, and that inspired A.A. Milne to write the books.
