Here is a gallery of images of animals in development. We aren't sure how much these images have been enhanced & altered with CG but one thing we can say for sure, they're still amazing.

Elephant developing at 11 weeks

The Asian elephant at 22-month gestation period, the longest of all mammals.

By 12 months it looks perfectly formed.

At 12 months, it is an average of 18 inches long and weighs approximately 26 pounds.

Dog at 60 days, nearly full-term. A full coat of hair, nails and paw pads are present.

Dolphin at one month.

At one month the dolphins develop tiny leg-like limb buds that dissappears within two weeks.

Angelic Aroma

We all enjoy a nice, steaming cup of coffee in the morning, right? Artist Ryan Lewis creates art from raw coffee.

Using raw coffee as his medium, many of his paintings tend to depict coffee cups interacting in “human” situations.

Brother Cups

As a small boy, Ryan watched a man paint using coffee and always wanted to try it. He mostly uses the cheapest brands, as he is not picky. He has brewed espresso but most of the time just brews a small cup of super strong dark coffee.

Dropping Bombs

He uses a technique similar to watercolor painting and mixes light and dark blends of coffee to get the shading that he needs. Interestingly enough, you can smell the coffee on his paintings. He says that most people don’t even realize what his paintings are painted with until he tells them.

Now, I know all of you coffee lovers are out there salivating over these artistic creations and dreaming of owning one of these in order to one day lap up the painting when you find yourself out of your precious coffee. But don’t wipe that drool away just yet – Ryan says that his paintings taste and smell horrible, as they are entirely too strong. Still, it would be cool to have one of these hanging in the kitchen.

Mothers don’t care about species, even if they are natural enemies, normally in nature this kind of mothers wouldn’t never be possible, but with some human effort things can change, here you can see a compilation of pictures of the most amusing and strange mothers.
