The Magnificence of Elephants


Image by Victoria Neblik, 2010, all rights reserved.

"If you ask the average person to describe the colour of an elephant, you will most likey be told that elephants are grey. Certainly, on gloomy, overcast days, they can appear to be grey: but I have noticed many different colours emanate from elephants. As the light bounces off them, they seem pink at sunset, blue at night, orange in the morning and brown under a coating of dust."- wildlife photographer Steve Bloom - quote from his book "Elephant"

Link of the day- animals in utero

Some lovely pictures of elephant-, dog- and dolphin- foetuses in utero and of a duck embryo/"foetus" developping in its shell. The elephant, dog and dolphin pictures were widely publicised a while back, but I have not seen the duck pictures before.
