I'm not sure what I expected, but the mare was lightly sedated, then led in front of a large sheet of metal standing on edge. They ran straps through the metal and buckled them around her body. As they anesthetized her, the metal began to tilt back, and soon it was horizontal with my mare sleeping on top and being prepped for surgery. Slickest thing I ever saw, that tilt table...sounds like your mobile lift is the answer for wild animals that must be sedated for transport. Hats off to the genius inventors in Construction and Maintenance! I once had to take one of my mares to a university in Michigan for major surgery.

I love the glimpses of the " behind the scenes" world of the zoo, WAP, and hospital. Thank you for sharing your very special work with us. I guess necessity is the mother of invention.

I guess we think that things just get done, but we don't think about how they get done. It's so much fun to learn new things about the zoo and all the wonderful animals. Thanks for the great update and, of course, the pictures. Wow, really interesting, Bob. I guess we think that things just get done, but we don’t think about how they get done.
