Cornell Faculty Consult on Television Special

January 4, 2007

ITHACA, NY - 1/4/2007 - Veterinary faculty members at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine played important roles in developing the groundbreaking special In the Womb: Animals, which premiered on the National Geographic Channel (NGC) last month.

ITHACA, NY - 1/4/2007 - Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine faculty consultants played important roles in developing the groundbreaking special In the Womb: Animals, which premiered on the National Geographic Channel (NGC) this month. For the first time, viewers were able to visualize the prenatal development of three mammals - elephant, dolphin and dog - and witness their early similarities followed by different paths to birth.

Dr. Donald Schlafer, professor of Comparative Obstetrical and Gynecological Pathology, Dr. Drew Noden, professor of Embryology and Animal Development, and Dr. Howard Evans, professor Emeritus of Anatomy, acted as consultants for the special. They provided photographs of canine uteruses, fetuses and placentas and critiqued the models that were made to portray stages of fetal development. The professors also reviewed prerelease versions of the video production to ensure accuracy of the accompanying narrative. While at Oxford in the spring, Schlafer traveled to London to view the models in person and witness filming for the special.

According to the NGC, the program features state-of-the-art visual effects, computer graphics and real-time, moving 4-D ultrasound imagery to take viewers inside the world of animal fetal development. The special, geared toward a lay audience, uses comparative reproductive biology to view animal pregnancy from mating through fetal development, delivery and neo-natal growth, according to Schlafer. "The special includes fascinating comparative embryology and very realistic simulations of fetal development," says Noden.

More information on the program can be found at NGC's website.
