Who lives in the little house: X-rays of pregnant animals

Have you ever wondered what happens in the womb of a pregnant cat or dog? How do all these tiny babies fit in there and manage to develop throughout the pregnancy? Most pregnant animals are examined using x-rays. And these, it should be noted, are very interesting photographs.

We all have a great idea of how a person’s pregnancy goes, and thanks to modern technologies we can see the baby in the womb at the earliest stages, from different angles and even in three-dimensional projection. But what does pregnancy look like for our little brothers?

Specialists who, as part of their work, observe animals that are ready to give birth, shared these amazing X-ray and ultrasound images.
