My dog had attacked the nest of a bird that had made a little home in some tall grass by the house. I found the nest laying out by the front porch and all of the eggs were laying around it. I put them back in the nest and put the nest back in the grass, hoping that the mother would come back to care for them. After two days, she still hadn't returned, so I figured that they weren't going to make it- something would eat them or they would just rot. So me and my sisters thought we could blow out the eggs and keep them since they were speckled and pretty. But one had a hole in the side of it and we could see that the inside was already formed. We opened a few up so that we could look at the embryos of the dead chicks and I took a few pictures.

A range of images demonstrating the increased macro effect of using my standard 18-55mm Canon lens with a set of macro extension tubes. Pictures are all of a set of six chicken embryos at various stages in their development, encased and preserved in acrylic.
Yes, I like doing abstracts recently. I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, and I promise, I'll be uploading some "normal" pictures again in the near future. :)
Yes, this is a photo and not a painting and no, this is NOT a real embryo. Maybe you can guess what the original "thing" is. :)
The Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) of Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York – This unique sea-dwelling rabbit, which is actually a close relative of the sea lion, was officially discovered and investigated by Henry Hudson when he first visited this land to colonize the area by order of the Dutch government. It was named New Amsterdam -- today’s New York City. This island was named after he saw the beach covered with strange swimming wild rabbits. The word “Coney Island” means “wild rabbit island” in Dutch (originally Conyne Eylandt, or Konijneneiland in modern Dutch spelling). Sea rabbits were also referred mermaid rabbit, merrabbit, rabbit fish or seal rabbit in the natural history documents in the 17th century. The current conservation status, or risk of extinction, of the sea rabbit is Extinct in the Wild.
This website features two species of sea rabbits, which have been taken care of by Dr. Takeshi Yamada (山田武司) at the Coney Island Sea Rabbit Repopulation Center, which is a part of the Marine biology department of the Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. They are – Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) called “Seara” and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus) called “Stripes”.
The photographs and videos featured in this website chronicle adventures of the Coney Island sea rabbits and the world as seen by them. This article also documented efforts of Dr. Takeshi Yamada for bringing back the nearly extinct sea rabbits to Coney Island in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada produced a series of public lectures, workshops, original public live interactive fine art performances and fine art exhibitions about sea rabbits at a variety of occasions and institutions in the City of New York and beyond. Dr. Yamada is an internationally active educator, book author, wildlife conservationist and high profile artist, who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Sea Rabbit
Other Common Names: Coney Island Sea Rabbit, Beach Rabbit, Seal Rabbit, mer-rabbit, merrabbit, Atlantic Sea Rabbit.
Latin Name: Monafluffchus americanus
Origin: Atlantic coast of the United States
Description of the specimen: In the early 17th century’s European fur craze drove the fleet of Dutch ships to the eastern costal area of America. Then Holland was the center of the world just like the Italy was in the previous century. New York City was once called New Amsterdam when Dutch merchants landed and established colonies. Among them, Henry Hudson is probably the most recognized individual in the history of New York City today. “This small island is inhabited by two major creatures which we do not have in our homeland. The one creature is a large arthropod made of three body segments: the frontal segment resembles a horseshoe, the middle segment resembles a spiny crab and its tail resembles a sharp sword. Although they gather beaches here in great numbers, they are not edible due to their extremely offensive odor. Another creature which is abundant here, has the head of wild rabbit. This animal of great swimming ability has frontal legs resemble the webbed feet of a duck. The bottom half of the body resembles that of a seal. This docile rabbit of the sea is easy to catch as it does not fear people. The larger male sea rabbits control harems of 20 to 25 females. The meat of the sea rabbit is very tender and tasty.” This is what Hadson wrote in his personal journal in 1609 about the horseshoe crab and the sea rabbit in today’s Coney Island area of Brooklyn, New York. Sadly, just like the Dodo bird and the Thylacine, the sea rabbit was driven to extinction by the European settlers’ greed. When Dutch merchants and traders arrived here, sea rabbits were one of the first animals they hunted down to bring their furs to homeland to satisfy the fur craze of the time. To increase the shipment volume of furs of sea rabbit and beavers from New Amsterdam, Dutch merchants also started using wampum (beads made of special clam shells) as the first official currency of this country.
At the North Eastern shores of the United States, two species of sea rabbits were commonly found. They are Coney Island Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus americanus) and Coney Island Tiger-striped Sea Rabbit (Monafluffchus konjinicus). Sadly, due to their over harvesting in the previous centuries, their conservation status became “Extinct in the Wild” (ET) in the Red List Endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Currently, these sea rabbits are only found at breeding centers at selected zoos and universities such as Coney Island Aquarium and Coney Island University in Brooklyn, New York. The one shown in this photograph was named "Seara" and has been cared by Dr. Takeshi Yamada at Coney Island University.
The sea rabbit is one of the families of the Pinniped order. Pinnipeds (from Latin penna = flat and pes/pedis = foot) are sea-mammals: they are homeothermic (i.e having high and regulated inner temperature), lung-breathing (i.e dependant on atmospheric oxygen) animals having come back to semi aquatic life. As soon as they arrive ashore, females are caught by the nearest adult male. Males can maintain harems of about 20 females on average. Several hours to several days after arriving ashore, pregnant females give birth to eight to ten pups with a dark brown fur. As soon as birth occurs, the mother’s special smell and calls help her pups bond specifically to her. The mother stays ashore with her pup for about one week during which the pup gains weight. During the first week spent with her newborn, the mother becomes receptive. She will be impregnated by the bull, which control the harem. Implantation of the embryo will occur 3 months later, in March-April. During the reproductive period, the best males copulate with several tens females. To do so, males have to stay ashore without feeding in order to keep their territory and their harem. In mid-January, when the last females have been fecundated, males leave at sea to feed. Some of them will come back later in March-April for the moult. The other ones will stay at sea and will come back on Coney Island only in next November. After fecundation, the mother goes at sea for her first meal. At sea, mothers feed on clams, crabs, shrimps, fish (herring, anchovy, Pollock, capelin etc.) and squids. When she is back, the mother recovers her pups at the beach she left them. Suckling occurs after auditive and olfactory recognition had occured. In March-April, the dark brown fur is totally replaced by an adult-like light brownish grey fur during the moult that lasts 1-2 months. This new fur is composed by 2 layers. Externally, the guard fur is composed by flat hairs that recover themselves when wet. By doing so, they make a water-proof barrier for the under fur. The underfur retains air when the seal is dry. Because of isolating properties of the air, the underfur is the insulating system of the fur. In March-April, the fur of adults is partially replaced. First reproduction occurs at 1-yr old in females. Males are physiologically matures at 1 year old but socially matures at +2 years old.
NOTE: The name of Coney Island is commonly thought to be derived from the Dutch Konijn Eylandt or Rabbit Island as apparently the 17th century European settlers noted many rabbits running amuck on the island.

Seeds hold nutrients for the developing embryo. When seeds are wet and the conditions are optimal (right temperature and light availability) the embryo slowly breaks dormancy. Once the "decision" to break dormancy has been made, a cascade of transformative events occurs, changing the seed into a plant.
First, the embryo sends a hormonal message out into the seed that forces enzymes to be released. The enzymes break down starch and other nutrients in the seed that diffuse into the developing embryo. Tiny roots emerge first and then the seedling breaks out of the seed. Here we see the first growth coming out wheat seeds. Imagine the shoots drawing nutrients from the seed. After they are out for a few days they will turn darker green as they manufacture chlorophyll. Once chlorophyll is made, photosynthesis can take place.

The new technique of Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) helps to reveal the internal structures of stained whole embryos and small pieces of tissue without the need for cutting sections. The mouse embryo shown here has been stained to show parts of the nervous system in green, the floor of the spinal cord and other tissue in blue and the heart in red. Unstained tissue appears grey. The OPT technique enables different elements of the staining patterns to be revealed in more detail using the computer to selectively remove overlying tissue. This process can be observed in the accompanying on-screen animation.

Yi Zheng, a mechanical engineering research fellow, and Jianping Fu, associate professor of mechanical engineering, examine a microfluidic chip developed in Fu’s lab at the University of Michigan. On the chip, stem cells organize into embryo-like structures for the purpose of studying early human development.
The system can reliably produce the structures needed to help investigate important questions in maternal and child health, such as: What chemicals pose risks to developing embryos, and what causes certain birth defects and multiple miscarriages?

Area 51 is ONLY a top secret military base for research and development. You could take ALL the idiot conspiracy theorists and let them loose in that base, open EVERY door, drawer, filing cabinet, broom closet and computer file, and let them dig through everything to their hearts content for as long as they wanted and when they left, after finding NOTHING alien, they would be saying to each other, "The reason we didn't find anything was because they must have an 'above top secret' part of the base where the alien stuff was that they didn't open." (see photo labelled 'alien embryo, front' for final part of rant)
All embryos communicate with the parent uterus using various hormones called cytokines.
Cytokines helps the uterus to prepare for implantation.
Embryos chemically tells the uterus what it needs for development and implantation.
Embryo transfer on Day 3 aids the implantation of a second sequential transfer of blastocysts on day 5. This increases chances of possible pregnancy, since the uterus was prepared by first embryos for second set of embryos.
oschene's hycrangea is a most great model and even its in-between stages turn out to be beautiful. I will probably continue and let this bird hatch eventually.
