ZSL London Zoo shares animal X-rays
Nasi - big-headed turtle (Platysternon megacephalum)

A selection of X-ray images showing the inner workings of frogs, turtles, snakes and geckos have been shared by veterinary surgeons at ZSL London Zoo.  

Taken as part of a routine health check, the images have been shared as part of its ‘Vets in Action’ event - a hand’s on role-playing experience for children that explores the life of a zoo vet.

ZSL London Zoo veterinary nurse Heather Mackintosh said: “It’s great to be able to share the work that goes on behind the scenes at the Zoo to keep our residents in tip-top condition – and our visitors are always amazed to find out more about their favourite animals.”
