Modern Technology Captures Baby Animals in the Womb
It’s not often we get to peer into the world inside the womb, and none of us remember what it was like, but producer Peter Chinn is helping us understand a little bit more about what goes on before birth. His images, produced for a National Geographic documentary called In the Womb: Extreme Animals used real-time 4-D ultrasound images and computer models to create an astoundingly lifelike vision of animal gestation that is beautiful and even a little unnerving.
Not since the perennial classic A Child Is Born by Lennart Nilsson have we seen such a surprising look into baby development. Instead of humans, Chinn helps us see a diverse range of animals, from an already smiling dolphin fetus to the toothy grin of a baby shark. His work with modern ultrasound technology gives us an unusually clear look at their appearance before birth – and because it all happens from the outside, it causes no danger to the baby or parent
