How long does something need to stay still for a CT scan and can you send water through, just thinking about aquatic animals if you could just send the tank through.

Looking at my axolotl who can happily sit there not moving for hours in the hope of ambushing prey, staying still should be easy enough.

On OkCupid, I once briefly courted a woman with the username "RazeTheAxolotl." One of my opening questions was whether she meant "raise" or "raze." She meant "raise."

I don't think asking that helped with my chances. We didn't end up going on any dates.

Interesting.

Did you take these pictures, or could you mention their source? I want to make sure the author(s) get credit.

A... giraffe? Are they alive?

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, they’re usually found in the grasslands of Africa and a few other places in the world in addition to zoos and such.

I have a feeling, most of those are MRT and not CT

[–] bob_lemon@feddit.org 6 points 1 year ago

MRT machines are much larger than the devices shown here.

The only thing animals should be forced to do!

That CT scanner is like a D&D magic item that lets you conjure up to 2 hit-dice worth of medicated animals....

What do you mean against their will? Did you ask them politely?
