From whale to snake, images of animals getting CAT scan intrigue Twitter
Images show lion sedated and bound on a CAT scan machine.
Striking images of a lion getting a CAT have attracted people’s attention on Twitter. Though old, the images are creating a stir after recently being shared by a user on the micro-blogging site. The three images show the big cat sedated and bound on a CAT scan machine.

The pictures – which were originally shared in 2018 – are of a lion at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, reports Fox News. The big cat named Tomo had an infection and the scan was done to determine its health condition.
“Talk about a cat scan...,” Twitter user Chris Hogan dropped this pun-filled caption along with the images of the lion.
Not just the big cat, in his tweet thread, Hogan eventually shared images of all sorts of animals getting CAT scans. It includes giraffe, whale, snake, bear, and more.
Take a look at some of the images he shared:
Hogan’s tweets attracted varied comments from tweeple. While some were simply surprised, some wondered what would happen if their sedative wear off mid-scan.
