A zoo is giving people a more intimate picture of its animals – after having them X-rayed.The procedure was done was part of continuing health checks on the wildlife population at Oregon Zoo in Portland, Oregon, USA.And they give incredible detail of the mammals, birds, lizards and amphibians who live at the park.A spokesperson said:” How do you x-ray a 320-pound (145 kilo) tiger? Very carefully, of course — and with state-of-the-art equipment.Every animal at the Oregon Zoo receives routine health exams, and often these checkups include x-rays. “Digital radiology has proved a useful diagnostic tool and helped the zoo’s animal experts provide excellent health care. “Digital radiology allows us to get X-ray results faster and fine-tune the images after taking them, so we’re able to minimize anaesthesia and examination time for animals, according to zoo veterinarians. “This decreased anaesthesia time means lower risk and improved safety for our patients. “Plus we can digitally archive images for later comparison, and share X-rays with consultants and veterinary staff at other zoos.” Zoo vets noted that the digital system produces images with great detail and clarity — which helps ensure excellent health care for the animals, and it also provides a unique glimpse inside the world of wildlife.The equipment used by the zoo was funded largely by a donation from the state’s Banfield Pet Hospital.

Now that's a test tube baby! Bizarre X-ray machine for babies amuses the internet
Now that's a test tube baby! Bizarre X-ray machine for babies amuses the internet
Stuck in a plastic tube with a dumbfounded look on its face, this baby seems completely bewildered by what is going on.
And, unsurprisingly, it has also baffled people on the internet.
But the image of the unnamed youngster, with wide eyes and arms aloft while stuck in a clear container, was actually taken during an X-Ray for the child.
The machine is called a Pigg O Stat, and has been produced for the medical field since the 1960s.
Manufacturers describe it as 'an all-in-one pediatric immobilization device designed for positioning infants and young children for an appropriate x-ray without significant complications.'
The snap was posted online by Bretstar, who wrote: 'I worked as a floor guy buffing and scrubbing at a hospital and every time i got to xray and radiology I always saw this machine sitting in the hallway and had to move it.
'I never once saw the xray tech grab it. I had no idea that is what this was. This pic answers a 3 year old question I never asked. Thanks.'
People working in the medical industry then started to post comments underneath the image.
They said they had seen the contraption, but never realized what it did.
One wrote: 'My daughter was in one of those when she was just turning two. She's usually going to cry about anything out of the ordinary but not not this, for some reason.
'However, while she was being stoic in the area above the table, her legs were cycling a hundred miles an hour the whole time, not unlike Scooby and Shaggy when they are scared and have begun to run but haven't yet moved.'
Taking a slightly difference stance on the picture, one user posted: 'I'm totally saving this picture for when my 8 year old asks me where babies come from and how they get in the mom's belly. "See, sweetie, the doctors load the baby into the hopper on top, and this machine compresses the baby, and using high pressure, inserts it into the belly

Long Necked Turtle Swallows Fishing Hook, Melbourne, Australia - 16 Mar 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by James D. Morgan / Rex Features ( 1295861c )
The X-Ray showing the fishing hook inside it's stomach, This remarkable story focuses on the long-necked turtle who was found by a passer by in St Kilda Botanical Gardens in Melbourne tangled in a fishing line. She saw that he was in dire straits swimming around in circles and so went in to help it. Dropping it off at Melbourne Zoo, the turtle then underwent a 6 hour operation to have a hook removed from its insides. Vet Dr Andrew Hill of the zoo's vet staff removed the hook by making a hole in its belly shell. He then used some adhesive bought from the local hardware store and normally used in house renovation to fix it back to the body of the turtle.

"The hook hadn't penetrated his gut, but it was preventing him from eating, and he would have had a stomach ache," he said.
"The patch of shell that we've put back will be shed in about a year as new shell grows in from underneath."
The turtle is now recovering in the zoo hospital and it will take up to a year for the shell to totally fix.

Dog swallows toy cats, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 16 Jun 2010
IT'S A DOG EAT CAT WORLD
A dog owner had kittens when she realised her mischievous pup had swallowed a family of toy cats and they had been inside her for a month
Samatha Reed, 42, was shocked to discover Snowy the West Highland Terrier had eaten five ceramic cats with the largest measuring 5cm tall.
Vets made the incredible discovery after the poorly one-year-old pup was sick and stopped eating.
"It is a rather unusual case and one of the most unusual X-rays I've ever seen. We could clearly see a cat inside her stomach. We could see the ears and tail," said Nigel Belgrove, a partner at Cromwell Vets in Huntingdon, Cambs.
Owner Samantha, of Wyton-on-Hill, Cambs, said she became worried when the mischievous dog stopped eating four weeks ago.
She took her to the vets, who thought Snowy had reacted badly to her dog food and asked Mrs Reed to try her on a diet of rice and chicken.
"She was sick for about a month. At first it was just at night, then she started being sick throughout the day too," said Samantha.
"At first the vet thought it may be a sickness bug."
When the new diet failed to work vets carried out urine samples believing it to be a kidney problem, but when these test results were given the all-clear they gave Snowy a course of antibiotics.
It was only when the vets carried out an X-ray of her stomach that they discovered the problem - five toy cats lodged in her belly.
"We were really worried. Snowy is a much-loved member of this family and we feared the worst," said Samantha, who lives with her husband Mick, 42, and children Danielle, nine, Alan, 10, David, 12, and Brian, 13
"I was shocked when the vets phoned to say Snowy had swallowed a few cats. I thought they meant real ones!"

Teen stabbed through head with knife after computer game argument, Mishazi town, Jilin province, China - 17 Mar 2010
CHINESE TEEN STABBED THROUGH HEAD
A Chinese teenager has been stabbed through the head with a large knife after getting into an argument about a computer game.
Amazingly, Xiao Wei, 16, of Mishazi town, northeast China's Jilin province, managed to walk to hospital after the incident, with the 14cm knife still sticking out of his skull.
The large cleaver pierced Wei's entire head - entering through his left temple and protruding 1cm out from the other side.
"His face was covered in blood, but he was still conscious," said Professor Yan Shijun, deputy director of neurosurgery department of the hospital.

Four-year-old boy gets scissors impaled in face after fall, Qinglong town, Qinghuangdao, China - 21 Mar 2010
SCISSORS IMPALE FOUR-YEAR-OLD'S FACE
A four-year-old boy is smiling again after suffering an horrific accident that saw him fall face first onto a pair of scissors.
Xiao Yu was helping his parents to paste spring festival scrolls onto the door of their home in Qinglong town, Qinghuangdao, when the accident occurred.
He became impaled on the scissors they were using when he tripped and landed on top of them.
The sharp implement pierced 7cm into his face, entering just left of his nose.
He was rushed to the local hospital but they were unable to handle such a severe injury.
So, little Yu was then transferred to multiple different hospitals until, 10 hours later, he was finally admitted to Xiehe hospital in Beijing.
Scans and x-rays revealed that the blades had become lodged in his upper jaw and were pointing to the inside of the skull at a very dangerous angle.
Doctors decided to remove the scissors surgically and, after much discussion, Director Zhao Jizhi came up with a plan of action with other experts.
During a three hour surgery they cut an opening inside Yu's mouth to make the blades visible before surgically removing the scissors and then sewing up the wounds.
Just eight days after the operation Yu is once again smiling after suffering no facial nerve damage.
And with just a scar to show for his ordeal, Yu has apparently bounced back from the horrible accident, forgetting the pain and already racing round the hospital ward.

VET OPERATES ON SHARK TO REMOVE FISH HOOK LODGED IN JAW
A 6ft long shark has received emergency lifesaving surgery to remove a rusty hook from its mouth.
Nurse shark Florence underwent the procedure at the Weymouth Sealife centre in Dorset.
Vet Nick Masters carefully removed the offending fish hook from Florence's jaw during a 45 minute operation.
Operating on a shark out of water is extremely uncommon and the procedure on Florence was the first time it has happened in this country.
For the task Florence was first anaesthetised and tubes were fed into her mouth to let seawater pump out through her gills.
Anaesthetising sharks can be something of a hit and miss affair, making it a potentially dangerous situation for Nick.
With his hands between her jaws, he would have found himself in trouble if Florence had suddenly woken up.
However, the operation proved to be a success and Nick was able to remove the inch long rusty hook.
The hook was first discovered buried in Florence's jaw when staff at the sealife centre noticed that she had gone off her food.
An ultrasound quickly highlighted the reason behind her loss of appetite.
Florence is now eating well again and will spend some time recovering before moving to her new permanent home at the Sea Life Centre in Birmingham

60-year-old tortoise Aggie, who swallowed a 6cm chicken bone, Crawley, Sussex, Britain - Sep 2008
THE TERRIBLE TALE OF THE TUMMY-ACHE TORTOISE
An unlucky tortoise was left needing a lengthy operation after biting off more than she could chew.
After emerging from hibernation, 60-year-old Aggie attempted to sate her hunger by snacking on a discarded chicken carcass.
Unbeknownst to her owners Aggie's snack attack left her with a six centimetre bone lodged inside her stomach.
After she refused to eat for a week it was feared that she had become anorexic.
However, when she was taken to the vets near her home in Crawley, Sussex, an x-ray revealed the truth of Aggie's predicament.
In order to remove the bone vet Rob Reynolds had to open up the underneath of an anaesthetized Aggie's shell as part of a lengthy operation.
But the terrible tale of Aggie's tender tum has had a happy ending; she is now fully mended and happily crawling round the garden of her home.
