Daniel Barajas+FollowEl Paso’s lion king gets a hospital MRIA 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 #ZooNews10Share
Daniel Barajas+FollowEl Paso lion gets high-tech hospital careA 500-pound African lion from the El Paso Zoo just got an MRI at a local hospital—yes, you read that right! Hodari, the zoo’s well-loved lion, was showing some troubling signs like trouble walking and tiredness. The zoo’s team, along with a veterinary neurologist, took him to the Hospitals of Providence for a late-night scan. Early results look promising, and Hodari is already on the mend. It’s amazing to see our city’s animal care go to such lengths for their residents. What do you think about animals getting the same advanced medical care as people? #Pets #ElPaso #ZooNews10Share
Tanya Jackson+FollowMom Donates Daughter’s Pony to Zoo Lions?!Would you ever donate a beloved pet to a zoo? One mom in Denmark did just that—her daughter’s old pony was in so much pain, they decided to have it euthanized and fed to lions at Aalborg Zoo. The zoo had actually asked for pet donations to feed their predators, and the family agreed, saying it was a way for the pony to help other animals. People online are split—some call it wild, others say it’s practical. What do you think? #Pets #ZooNews #ViralStory310513Share
Daniel Barajas+FollowZoo’s Heartbreaking Tiger Cub DecisionLeipzig Zoo had to make a tough call: three newborn Amur tiger cubs were euthanized after their mom, Yushka, didn’t care for them. The zoo says hand-raising wasn’t an option since it goes against their wildlife management principles. It’s super sad, but apparently, this kind of thing happens in the animal kingdom. The zoo still hopes Yushka will help save her species in the future. Nature can be rough, huh? #Pets #TigerCubs #ZooNews8129Share
Cassandra Snyder+FollowZoo Wants Your Unwanted Pets (For Real)A Danish zoo is asking people to donate their unwanted chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs—not for adoption, but to feed their predators! Aalborg Zoo says it helps mimic the natural food chain and keeps their lynxes and tigers happy and healthy. Even horses can be donated (with a pet passport, of course). It’s wild, but apparently, it’s a common thing in Denmark. Would you ever donate a pet to a zoo like this? #Pets #ZooNews #Wildlife44Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowZoo Door Fail Leads to Lion TragedyDid you hear about the Columbus Zoo? A faulty sliding door meant to keep rival lions apart broke, letting them all mix—and it ended in a heartbreaking fight. Sadly, lioness Asali didn’t make it, while Roary the male lion had minor injuries. The USDA cited the zoo, and now they’re upgrading their enclosures and sharing what happened so other zoos can avoid this nightmare. Wild, right? #Pets #ZooNews #AnimalWelfare27681Share

Jacob Morgan+FollowElephants Get a Major UpgradeAustralia’s elephants are finally getting the space and social lives they deserve! After years in city zoos, most are moving to massive open-range parks where they can actually hang out in herds, swim, graze, and just be elephants. It’s a huge win for their happiness, but some people still say zoos aren’t enough. Either way, seeing these gentle giants living their best lives is seriously heartwarming. 🐘💚 #Elephants #AnimalWelfare #ZooNews #Pets3641Share
