UPDATE 8 Feb.2010:
-Winterrust voorbij voor ijsberin Tania: geen ijsbeertjes voor Blijdorp
- Polar bear Tania is awake and left her den. It's a pity: no baby polar bears in Rotterdam Zoo

Dec. 20090: IJsbeerin Tania heeft zich teruggetrokken in haar kraamkamer voor de winterrust. Nu is het afwachten of ze zwanger is. Eerst heeft ze zich helemaal vol en rond gegeten om de nodige vetreserve op te bouwen. In het kraamhol verblijft zij in alle stilte, ver weg van de bezoekers. Het hol is voorzien van camera's, zodat zij door verzorgers in de gaten kan worden gehouden. Deze beelden zijn met infrarood-camera opgenomen in een aardedonker hol.

Dec. 2009: The upcoming period is an exciting one for Rotterdam zoo: Is polar bear Tania pregnant or not? The signs are certainly positive. Tania and Eric (Rotterdam zoo's male polar bear) mated several times last spring and Tania has withdrawn into her maternity den where she has entered a dormant state. This hibernation-like state does not consist of continuous sleeping; her heart rate slows by almost half but her body temperature does not decrease during this period, as it would for a typical mammal in hibernation. It is totally dark and silent in her den, she isn't disturbed by the visitors or keepers. Cameras and infrared lights have been installed in Tania's dark den so that the keepers can keep an eye on her progress.

  • Je denkt, wat ligt er weinig stro in dat verblijf, maar het is een ijsbeer die in barre koude gebieden wonen... X-D

  • nee kijk maar naar haar profiel staat belgie of nl ofzo :p

  • @Bhdfreaknerd Uhu vroeg ik me ook af x) , ik denk dat die Tania engels is, niet?

  • good boy =)

  • lief

  • waarom engels praten als jullie nederlands/belgisch zijn

  • hahahahahaha

  • @Droppy22 : Hahahaha I have no problem, it's the girl Tania with a problem. It's so silly to be pissed off when you discover that a animal has the same name as you. Then you have a real problem. Very sad, that people are pissed off for so little thing as a name.

  • @Mo81Toto77

    What's the problem with her reaction?

    If a pregnant icebear would carry my name i wouldn't like it too, lol.

    So WTF is you problem??!! xD
