LONDON, November 22, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Britain’s Daily Mail reports today on a remarkable series of photographs showing animals still in the womb.
The images were created with a combination of advanced ultrasound technology, computer graphics and tiny cameras inserted into the animals’ uterus. They include photos of a golden retriever puppy panting and showing its fur and whiskers, and a dolphin that swims, moves its eyes and curls its tail fin against its body in utero.
Clearly identifiable and perfectly formed, a foetal elephant, at six months of its two-year gestation period, is seen seemingly floating in the uterus of its mother.
In 2004, the same production team introduced the amazing footage of human children “walking” in the womb. The group at Pioneer Productions filmed the entire gestation process of the animals up to birth.
Jeremy Dear, Head of Development for Pioneer Productions told the Daily Mail, “Animals were trained to sit still near the scanners and we also inserted cameras into the womb via the elephant’s rectum – but it has been worth it. It [In} one sequence we follow an elephant developing. When it is finally born, there is not a dry eye in the house.”
Pioneer Productions, specializing in cutting-edge documentaries, created the images for a National Geographic documentary, Animals In The Womb, that will air in the US next month.
