Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cow giving birth to a calf, in a garden in Laos. Step by step, montage in 9 pictures.
  • 1. Kneeling cow. At the beginning, the amniotic sac comes out of the vulva under the raised tail.
  • 2. The head of the calf appears out of the vulva after the two first legs in front.
  • 3. View from behind. The head of the calf appears out of the vulva after the two first legs.
  • 4. As the head of the calf comes out of the vulva, the rest of the body hidden inside the mother creates the strange illusion of a cow with two heads.
  • 5. Lying cow. The body of the calf is half out of the vulva.
  • 6. The two front legs are visible, while the two back legs are still inside. No human support will be necessary during the process.
  • 7. The body of the calf is nearly entirely extracted, only the two back legs are still inside. The last step will be done with the gravity force, the weight of the body helping in the operation. Finally the baby is going to fall down from the vulva to the ground.
  • 8. The new born is lying on the ground, just after falling down from the mother's vagina. The animal seems inanimate, but it is definitely alive, and will be able to stand on its 4 legs in a few minutes. View from behind, a drop of biological liquid sinks from the vulva.
  • 9. Cow meeting her new born calf awaking.
Français : Vache donnant naissance à un veau, dans un jardin au Laos. Pas à pas, assemblage de 9 photos.
  • 1. Vache à genoux. Au début, le placenta sort de la vulve sous la queue dressée.
  • 2. La tête du veau apparaît hors de la vulve après les deux pattes avant et le placenta.
  • 3. Vue de derrière. La tête du veau apparaît hors de la vulve après les deux pattes avant.
  • 4. Comme la tête du veau sort de la vulve, le reste du corps caché à l'intérieur de la mère crée l'étrange illusion d'une vache à deux têtes.
  • 5. Vache couchée. Le corps du veau est moitié sorti du vagin.
  • 6. Les deux pattes avant sont visibles, tandis que les deux pattes arrières sont encore à l'intérieur. Aucune intervention humaine ne sera nécessaire durant le process.
  • 7. Le corps du veau est presque entièrement extrait, seulement les deux pattes arrières sont encore à l'intérieur. La dernière étape se réalisera grâce à la force de gravité, le poids du corps du jeune animal aidant l'opération. Enfin le bébé va tomber par terre depuis la vulve, sans blessure.
  • 8. Le nouveau-né est allongé au sol, juste après être tombé au sol depuis le vagin de la mère. L'animal paraît inanimé, mais il est bien vivant, et va se tenir sur ses 4 pattes d'ici quelques minutes. Vue de derrière, une goutte de liquide biologique s'écoule de la vulve.
  • 9. La vache rencontre son veau, fraîchement né et en train de s'éveiller.
