Extraordinary Animals in the Womb

The embryonic journeys of four remarkable animals are brought to life as they develop, from conception to birth. The shark, whose cannibalistic embryos will eat their own siblings to survive; the emperor penguin, whose egg-bound chicks must battle the coldest weather on the planet; the kangaroo, whose underdeveloped foetus will undergo an exceptionally premature birth; and the parasitic wasp, whose larvae must hijack and exploit the body of another creature.
