Tappen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A tappen is an obstruction, or indigestible mass, found in the intestines of bears and other animals during hibernation. Also referred to as a "rectal plug." They make it hard for the animal to defecate during hibernation, but are often passed with great pain in the spring time.
