"Against their will" made me chuckle

The crossovers between veterinary medicine and pediatric medicine are a lot more significant than most people like to think about. The Venn diagram isn't a perfect circle....but it's close.

How long does something need to stay still for a CT scan and can you send water through, just thinking about aquatic animals if you could just send the tank through.

Looking at my axolotl who can happily sit there not moving for hours in the hope of ambushing prey, staying still should be easy enough.

On OkCupid, I once briefly courted a woman with the username "RazeTheAxolotl." One of my opening questions was whether she meant "raise" or "raze." She meant "raise."

I don't think asking that helped with my chances. We didn't end up going on any dates.

A... giraffe? Are they alive?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah, they’re usually found in the grasslands of Africa and a few other places in the world in addition to zoos and such.

Interesting.

Did you take these pictures, or could you mention their source? I want to make sure the author(s) get credit.

Hats off to all these people keeping everything under control and helping these creatures. I cannot imagine how pissed off that lion or tiger would be if they woke up in the middle of a giant metal donut that makes tons of noise. I mean that takes a lot of courage. Most I will volunteer for is the bird, the fluffy burrito, and maybe the hedgehog. Pretty much anything that won't eat me.

I have a feeling, most of those are MRT and not CT

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

MRT machines are much larger than the devices shown here.

That CT scanner is like a D&D magic item that lets you conjure up to 2 hit-dice worth of medicated animals....
