The team also checks Gandalf, who shows strong health despite his age after earlier vitamin A problems, before moving on to Meg’s ingrown claw. Her procedure requires light sedation so the team can trim the painful nail safely and prevent infection. The episode shows why treating lions takes patience, trust, and careful timing.

Thousands of feet beneath the ocean's surface, deep-sea anglerfish survive using some of the strangest biological adaptations ever discovered. These predators use glowing bacteria to attract unsuspecting prey, expandable jaws to swallow enormous meals, and exceptionally dark skin to disappear into the surrounding water. But their most disturbing adaptation involves reproduction, as males of certain species permanently attach themselves to females and eventually share their circulatory systems.
