Posted 1 Sep 2025

A Japanese macaque at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s (RZSS) Highland Wildlife Park has undergone a CT scan following frequent nosebleeds.

The wildlife conservation charity worked with Burgess Diagnostics, who provided a portable CT scanner, to better understand the cause of Ishin’s symptoms.

Results from the scan are being analysed by the veterinary team to determine the next steps.
