The birth of Terkel

At the Zoological Center Tel Aviv Ramat Gan (Safari), Tanda gave birth to a beautiful, healthy male calf on June 15, 2012. Tanda is a 20 year old Southern White Rhino born in South Africa. This was her third birth, and the second successful one. Like with her first son, Tibor (now four and half years old), she proved herself to be a loving, tender and carrying mom. The calf was named Terkel in honor of Dr. Amelia Terkel the curator of the Zoological Center Tel Aviv Ramat Gan (Safari). This video depicts the birth of Terkel, and early moments of his life. Atari, a 33 years old male, is the proud father of both Tibor and Terkel.
