Life in the womb

National Geographic is working on an amazing series about life in the womb… as an animal. We’ve all seen pictures of human fetuses (feti?), but I know I’ve never seen anything like these photos of animals in vivo: The groundbreaking pictures of animals capturing life in the womb. The descriptions of animals fighting and eating each other before birth made me feel a bit queasy, and perhaps that episode of the series won’t be my favourite, but I can’t wait to see the one about wild and domestic cats. Check out the article, if only to see the cool photos of the kitten and the puppy. There are some additional photos from the series here. The series is being produced in conjunction with a British TV network, so I have no idea when it might air in the US, but if I find out anything I’ll post about it.

About Me

Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary on Facebook

My name is Leigh-Ann, I'm Canadian, and I live in the United States. This gives me great insight on cross-border issues, like American vs. Canadian candy bars, and curling vs. golf. I enjoy coffee but not caffeine, as I like to think I'm agitated enough already. I love animals and birds and fish and even most of the creepy crawlies on the sidewalk and in the garden, but I prefer it when they stay out of the house. I completed the veterinary technology program at Penn Foster, and in 2004 I started Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary with the goal of eventually turning it into a farm-like sanctuary facility for 50+ "unadoptable" cats (we're at 24). Long story short, this is a cat blog, with a dose of dog and parrot, heavy on pet health care talk. If you'd like to make a donation to Wee Paws, click the button below, or click here for more options and ways you can help.

I live with the fantabulous Flippy. I write a blog about fibromyalgia at Tired Girls. Feel free to check out the photo gallery if you want to see 500 pictures of my dogs, cats, birds, etc. Get in touch with me via the "contact" link above - I'm always available for freelance social media marketing work. My background includes 13 years in radio and television. One more thing: this blog was designed to be displayed at 1280 x 1024, because that's just the kind of girl I am.
