  • FEATURE - Es gibt ihn wirklich: The Real Polar Express

    FEATURE - Es gibt ihn wirklich: The Real Polar Express


    Guests at this rolling train hotel will be hoping not to be like meals on wheels... as it's surrounded by polar bears.

    The Tundra Lodge Rolling Hotel in Manitoba, Canada, is a custom rolling getaway where guests can enjoy regular visits from the giant Arctic animals.

    Guests can stay warm from the comfort of one of 32 rooms on-board the train - which boasts a large lounge area for viewing the bears.

    But daring visitors can get up close and personal with the bears on the raised outdoor viewing gallery and are often treated to the sights of the Northern Lights.

    Every guest has their own room with a private window, and there's also an outdoor viewing area with a mesh floor where you can come even closer.

    Guests here pay up to £5,000 ($7,895) to spend three nights in the mobile hotel, which takes them into polar bear habitat at the start of the viewing season, according to the website for lodge operator Natural Habitat Adventures.

    EXAMPLE

    Pictured: A polar bear can just about be spotted in the distance of a vast icy landscape as she enjoys a meal before walking away to rest. The mammal, which is around 200 kilos (31 and a half stone), looks tiny in the distance and is hard to see thanks to her white fur providing the perfect camouflage on the ice floes.

    David Cothran, 59, saw the bear some three miles away while in Norwegian Bay, in Nunavut, Canada. The bear was eating a seal and Mr Cothran, a nature guide and photography instructor, watched as the female bear dragged the almost finished carcass to a small pool of water.

    It can take a while to make sure the patient is sitting comfortably – especially when he’s a 60-stone polar bear.

    The 18-year-old got a friendly fireman’s lift when he was moved into position for the bear-sized check-up at the award-winning Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

    The carefully-orchestrated procedure, which took a month of planning, used fire brigade equipment, a winch, a cargo net and the might of rangers and eleven firefighters to move anaesthetised Victor.

    The dentist was called in to look at one tooth which was given a clean bill of health,

    Peter Kertesz, who has a clinic in London but also works on animals from dolphins and elephants, then used the opportunity to make sure all of Victor’s 42 teeth were in prime condition as fellow polar bears Pixel, Nobby & Nissan played at their reserve at the 100-acre park, at Branton, near Doncaster.

    Meanwhile, the bear was also given a full health check, looking at his teeth, joints, feet and claws. X-rays, blood samples, biopsies and swabs for a battery of tests were taken to make sure Victor is in tip top condition.

    The session took around two hours. Afterwards, he was carried again back in a cargo net into position to wake up, which he did within half an hour

    “It’s not everyday that a huge polar bear needs a dentist’s visit but we like to make sure Victor, and all our other animals, are in excellent health year round,” said Kim Wilkins, YWP’s Carnivore Team Leader.

    “We planned the day meticulously and were very grateful for the help of South Yorkshire Fire Brigade to help us lift Victor. We took very good care of him and he was back to normal very quickly once the anaesthetic wore off.”
