22 Fascinating Photos of Animals Getting CT Scans That Look Straight Out Of Sci-Fi

I spend a lot of time online digging through the internet’s endless pile of content—some good, some bad, and some just plain weird. But every now and then I stumble onto something that actually makes me stop scrolling and say, “Wait… what am I looking at?”

That’s exactly what happened when I found this collection of animal CT scan images. They’re wild, surreal, and honestly kind of beautiful in a sci-fi, “inside-out zoo” kind of way.

Whether it’s a panda, a fish, or a gorilla in a scanner, these animal pics are fascinating—and a little haunting—in the best way.
