About Daniel Lambert
Daniel Lambert was an English gaol keeper and animal breeder from Leicester, famous for his unusually large size.

He was a keen sportsman and extremely strong; on one occasion he fought a bear in the streets of Leicester. He was an expert in sporting animals, widely respected for his expertise with dogs, horses and fighting cocks.
