Once in a while, zoos perform health checks on their beloved animals and you'd think that there couldn't be anything really 'artsy' about it. Well, that's what all of us thought until Oregon Zoo posted these incredible shots from their animal x-rays, and the results look way cooler than you'd think.
Oregon Zoo's digital media specialist told Bored Panda that he decided to share these images online after seeing an x-ray of a chameleon and thought it looked very cool, " I went to our Veterinary Center where the vets showed me a database full of these incredible images. I thought these would be a spooky and fascinating way to look at wildlife during the Halloween season, but the response was unexpected. I love that teachers are using them in classrooms and adults are using them as games at Halloween parties."

The bar could be a microchip. But what about those white pebble things?
We are all so different and yet we are so incredibly similar. We walk, we crawl, we swim, we fly and we are all parts of the total that make up our planet. It is probably impossible that one of the oxygen molecules in my lungs right now has not once been in the body of a dinosaur, or a mammut, or a prehistoric cave-dwelling man. Let´s treat our environment well so that our great great grandchildren and all other kinds of animals and other forms of life on Earth will have a fighting chance to lead a life worth living. So what if today´s mega-corporations will have to make do with a smaller profit!
All of them look so awesome... they look like my new desktop backgrounds
