Paw-sitive he won't wake up? Unconscious polar bear gets a physical

After sedating the 1,000lb. bear named Hudson, technicians at the Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois had to use a reconfigured bulldozer to lift and transport the sleeping animal to a medical facility. Hudson had received regular checkups prior to Tuesday's examination, but he'd never had a CT scan before because he greatly exceeded the weight limit for the table on which animals are placed to use the machine. Examiners also gave Hudson checkup and extracted semen samples from him that can later be used to inseminate female polar bears at other zoos across the country, helping to boost the vulnerable bears' dwindling population.
