For a moment, things weren’t looking great for the newest California condor chick. But thanks to some quick thinking and CT scanning technology, the San Diego Zoo welcomed its 250th hatchling in conservationists’ ongoing species recovery program. To celebrate, the wildlife park has released images and video of the moments leading up to the arrival of Emaay , including a fascinating look within the egg itself. https://youtu.
The condor egg was then moved to the Paul Harter Veterinary Medical Center and placed in a computed tomography imaging machine. The CT scanner provided a 3D double-check of Emaay's egg.

The scans allow for far more detailed results than a basic X-ray image.
