The beginning of life (2) Dogs
The dog may have been the first animal to be domesticated, and has been the most widely kept working, hunting and companion animal in human history.There are many people out there who keep various kind of dogs and again, maybe just few know something more about the beginning of dogs life. Lets look inside the womb, where starts dogs life and the whole gestation.
Dog embryo at 30 days. It is approximately 2 centimetres in length – no larger than a grape.
At 60 days in the womb, three days before birth, the puppy has developed
a full coat of hair, with nails and paw pads, and the body is covered
with touch-sensitive nerve endings.
Dog fetus at 60 days, nearly full-term. A full coat of hair, nails and paw pads are present.
From conception through to birth, one thing becomes obvious – mammals
undergo similar stages of development in the womb. In fact, in the early
embryonic stages, it is not easy for the untrained eye to spot the
difference between a dolphin, a dog, an elephant and even a human.
Later I will put on a table where you can see all the early embryos stages of different kind of animals. Just I want to put on a dolphin too, maybe more if i am able to find...
