No one likes a trip to the dentist so it’s little wonder it took a whole team to tame the king of the jungle.
Lazarus had root canal surgery on Monday after breaking a tooth at Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo — but it was the vets who had to do the lion’s share of the work.
The zoo’s senior veterinarian Dr Benn Bryant, who had an armed guard during the surgery, said it was a very delicate operation as they “had to ensure he was truly asleep so he wouldn’t wake up halfway through”.
It was a success and Lazarus is back to enjoying life again having risen from the operating table.
“He’s hungry and has eaten well and is back to his old tricks,” Dr Bryant said.
