Two sterilized tanks are prepared and connected by a sterile tunnel. The animal is slipped into the operating tank. A surgeon puts his hands in the rubber gauntlets that are sealed into portholes in the tank's sides. A set of sterile instruments is already in place. He delivers the young, drops them into...
