urbpanHere is a news story about a veterinary procedure at Franklin Park Zoo--an examination and cardiac screening of our oldest male gorilla.
The article includes this picture of the goings-on:

Pictured are almost all my zoo hospital coworkers, my best zoo buddy Kikipuff, 3 other zookeepers, and some visiting doctors (who are the focus of the article above). Also Kitombe, the western lowland gorilla, who did great from the moment he presented his shoulder for the injection of sedative until he woke up and accepted a treat from the head vet.
