A full-grown African lion just got an MRI at an El Paso hospital—talk about a wild patient! Hodari, the El Paso Zoo’s star, was feeling off, so his team teamed up with The Hospitals of Providence to get him checked out. Imagine the logistics: moving a sedated lion, using special anesthesia, and squeezing him into a human-sized MRI machine. The scan found a treatable lesion, not a tumor, so Hodari’s now on meds and already back to charming zoo visitors. It’s amazing to see the city’s resources come together for animal care. Would you have guessed a hospital would ever host a lion? #Pets #ElPaso #ZooNews
