Hippo Tanja
23-05-2008
More news from Artis: Hippo Tanja hopes to celebrate her 48th birthday on June 2. A day before, Sunday, everyone can come to celebrate and to watch how de keepers will give her a special birthday cake.
Tanja was born in Artis and she is the last hippo in a long tradition of the zoo. In 1860 the first couple of hippos arrived, a few years (1862) later the first hippo was born. Even a pair of twins were born in 1870. The first pair of hippos had 14 descendants, most of them died shortly after they were born. After the death of Tanja the hippo exhibit will be closed. |
