Apple Watch was used by veterinarians to perform surgery on a lion

The device was used to monitor the animal's heart rate.

The operation was led by Australian veterinarian Chloe Buiting. The gadget was attached to the beast's tongue; at that moment he was under the influence of anesthesia.



This whole thing was carried out in the field. The Apple Watch helped track the lion's heart rate.

In the future, the functions of the device can be used to track the heartbeat and other animals. For example, it is possible to do this in operations with elephants by attaching the device to the ears.
