Animals inside the womb (simply stunning)
An upcoming National Geographic documentary called “Extraordinary Animals in the Womb” will feature these photographs of dolphins, sharks, dogs, penguins, cats and elephants inside the womb of their parents. Peter Chinn, the show’s producer, “used a combination of three-dimensional ultrasound scans, computer graphics and tiny cameras to capture the process from conception to birth.” These are definitely the most detailed (and first, really) embryonic animal pictures I have ever seen. How beautiful, innocent, and fascinating they all look.

Human gives birth to a giant baby
Earlier this week an Indonesian woman gave birth to a 19.2 pound baby boy. After a successful Caesarian section the child cried unusually loud, screaming for, you guess it, his first cheeseburger.
According to LemonDrop.com: “The baby is probably the size it is because his mother is diabetic, a condition which could have raised her glucose levels and thereby the baby’s, giving him more sugar than he needed and making him grow like a superhero fetus.”
