Sometimes as a news photographer we get chances to take photos of stuff that is really cool. Last Saturday morning before heading to Provo to photograph the state 5A swimming championships, I had the opportunity to swing by Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, Utah and photograph a veterinary dentist giving one of the resident leopards named Vladamere, a root canal. Even though we were separated by a wall and had to take photos through a plexiglass window of the surgery, it was amazing to see this beautiful animal so up-close and personal.
For the safety of those performing the surgery and that of the animal itself, the big cat is sedated during the procedure.
Here are a few photos from this.
