  • This adorable calf has made history after becoming the first ever Indian rhino to be born using artificial insemination. Akuti, a seven-year-old Greater One Horned Indian Rhinoceros, gave birth at approximately 12.30am on Tuesday April 23. According to delighted zoo staff, it is the first ever birth of the species by induced ovulation and artificial insemination. Amazingly, the youngster appears to be in excellent health and these adorable images capture the scientific marvel taking its first ever steps as it wobbles around its enclosure. According to zoo officials, natural breeding wasn't working, so an expert team of animal reproductive specialists from the South East Zoo Alliance for Reproduction and Conservation, which focuses on endangered species, were brought in to help the birth along. The crew artificially collected semen from the father, Suru, on Jan. 8, 2018. The following day they artificially inseminated the mother. Once the team of experts had confirmed that Akuti was pregnant, she was trained to receive regular ultrasound examinations. This helped the staff monitor the development of the baby. Because the exact date of conception was known, they were able to accurately estimate the birth date. Zoo Spokesperson Ron Magill said: “With the artificial insemination, we had to first collect the semen from the male. Once that was done, we had to immobilize the female so that there would be no danger to the veterinarians who then carefully used an instrument that is inserted vaginally and placed up against the cervix where the semen is then deposited,” he said. “The challenge is that it has to be timed precisely to her ovulation which was also induced. As it turned out, our timing was perfect.”. 25 Apr 2019 Pictured: Historic Indian rhino born using artificial insemination at Zoo Miami.

  • This is the moment a huge polar is taken for his first CT scan and a semen extraction on a bulldozer. Specialist staff at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, came up with the ingenious idea of carrying Hudson, a 12-year-old polar, to the operating room on the front a construction vehicle. Due to the creatures' hulking size past scans had been impossible as the previous equipment was not strong enough to hold his weight. The procedure was carried out so veterinary staff from the Chicago Zoological Society, could take semen samples, to help with artificial insemination, and to give the 1,000 beast a general check-up. Also, by giving the massive creature a CT scan, zoologist were able to get a rare insight into the brain of a polar bear. The scans are very rare as it is so hard to carry them out on such large animals. But luckily, last year the Illinois zoo was awarded a grant that allowed it to fortify the scanning machine, upgrading its weight limit to 2,200lbs, it was previously just 600lbs. Dr Michael Adkesson, vice president of clinical medicine for the Chicago Zoological Society, said: "Being able to get baseline CT images on a polar bear is a significant accomplishment to advance the medical well-being for the species under managed care. It allows us to assess Hudson’s joints, internal organs and overall health. The images provide us with a reference to monitor his health over time and can also be used to compare to other polar bears in the future if needed.". 26 Apr 2019 Pictured: Hudson undergoing CT scan after being carried on a bulldozer.

Specialist staff at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, came up with the ingenious idea of carrying Hudson, a 12-year-old polar, to the operating room on the front a construction vehicle. Due to the creatures' hulking size past scans had been impossible as the previous equipment was not strong enough to hold his weight. The procedure was carried out so veterinary staff from the Chicago Zoological Society, could take semen samples, to help with artificial insemination, and to give the 1,000 beast a general check-up. Also, by giving the massive creature a CT scan, zoologist were able to get a rare insight into the brain of a polar bear. The scans are very rare as it is so hard to carry them out on such large animals. But luckily, last year the Illinois zoo was awarded a grant that allowed it to fortify the scanning machine, upgrading its weight limit to 2,200lbs, it was previously just 600lbs. Dr Michael Adkesson, vice president of clinical medicine for the Chicago Zoological Society, said: "Being able to get baseline CT images on a polar bear is a significant accomplishment to advance the medical well-being for the species under managed care. It allows us to assess Hudson’s joints, internal organs and overall health. The images provide us with a reference to monitor his health over time and can also be used to compare to other polar bears in the future if needed.". 26 Apr 2019 Pictured: Hudson undergoing CT scan after being carried on a bulldozer.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A mother gave birth to someone else’s babies after an IVF mix-up, a new lawsuit claims. The woman and her husband, from Queens, New York, are suing CHA Fertility Centre, in Los Angeles, after giving birth to children who didn't share their ethnicity. The clinic is run by Dr. Joshua Berger and co-owner Simon Hong. The Asian couple, who are referred to as Y.Z. and A.P. in court documents, married in 2012 and tried relentlessly--both naturally and with medical assistance--to get pregnant. After countless disappointment, the couple visited CHA Fertility Center with the hopes of becoming parents. In January 2018, Dr. Berger and Mr Hong met with the couple and walked them through months-long medicine, vitamin tests, and several procedures to yield eight embryos. In total, the couple says they spent $100,000 on the entire process. In September, the pair were excited after learning female embryos were successfully planted and they were pregnant with twins. Their joy, however, was short-lived when the ultrasound revealed they were instead having twin boys. Dr. Berger dismissed the sonogram and tried to calm their concerns by revealing when his wife was pregnant they were originally having a boy but gave birth to a girl. Y.Z. and A.P's nerves were calmed for a moment, and on March 30, 2019, A.P. delivered the children via C-section and was met with an unspeakable mix-up. The babies were indeed boys but did not share their Asian ethnicity. Even worse, the boys weren't related to one another. Y.Z and A.P. unknowingly were surrogate parents and had to give the children up to their respective parents who were also clients of CHA Fertility Center. The couple was so embarrassed and heartbroken they haven't told their family or close friends. For Y.Z and A.P, the experience has left them with "permanent emotional injuries from which they will not recover," the suit says.The amount they are suing for is also undisclosed. 07 Jul 2019 Pictured: CHA Fertility Center.

The Asian couple, who are referred to as Y.Z. and A.P. in court documents, married in 2012 and tried relentlessly--both naturally and with medical assistance--to get pregnant. After countless disappointment, the couple visited CHA Fertility Center with the hopes of becoming parents. In January 2018, Dr. Berger and Mr Hong met with the couple and walked them through months-long medicine, vitamin tests, and several procedures to yield eight embryos. In total, the couple says they spent $100,000 on the entire process. In September, the pair were excited after learning female embryos were successfully planted and they were pregnant with twins. Their joy, however, was short-lived when the ultrasound revealed they were instead having twin boys. Dr. Berger dismissed the sonogram and tried to calm their concerns by revealing when his wife was pregnant they were originally having a boy but gave birth to a girl. Y.Z. and A.P's nerves were calmed for a moment, and on March 30, 2019, A.P. delivered the children via C-section and was met with an unspeakable mix-up. The babies were indeed boys but did not share their Asian ethnicity. Even worse, the boys weren't related to one another. Y.Z and A.P. unknowingly were surrogate parents and had to give the children up to their respective parents who were also clients of CHA Fertility Center. The couple was so embarrassed and heartbroken they haven't told their family or close friends. For Y.Z and A.P, the experience has left them with "permanent emotional injuries from which they will not recover," the suit says.The amount they are suing for is also undisclosed. 07 Jul 2019 Pictured: Dr. Joshua Berger.
