Vet Performs Root Canal On Tiger At Birmingham Zoo!

Eye of the tiger?!!?! Nay…this doc wants the TEETH of the tiger!
Veterinarian Dr. Robert Gaddis was charged with the unenviable task of yanking out a Malay tiger's tooth in a root canal at the Birmingham Zoo.
Yep, that's right…YANKING OUT A TIGER'S TOOTH!
During a routine checkup, zookeepers noticed that one of Kumar's teeth was broken.
Instead of fixing it, they asked Gaddis to remove it so the tooth could be preserved.
60 minutes and a BOATLOAD of anesthesia later, Kumar's tooth is gone and Gaddis still has his limbs.
Talk about a nerve-racking experience!
