I cant imagine any animal doing this as it would be too dangerous. A
dragging placenta would attract to many predators and one sitting in a
nest or a den would be attractive to flies etc which would bring their
own problems.

they cut the cord with their teeth, but I don't know when.

Here here Belinda! This notion that anyone has the right to "allow" or
"disallow" women to do or not do anything when it comes to their
birth, is
just not cricket!
Before we start debating the semantics of lotus birth, we need to all
be
going in to bat for women and their right to birth the way they need
and
want to. If this means wearing a polka dotted clown suit, or singing
Dixie
at the top of her voice, (or God forbid, not cutting the cord), and
that's
what she truly needs to be able to birth in her own way, then we need
to
respect that!
Now that's enough from me for tonight...

PS I have a copy of Shivam Rachana's Lotus Birth book, very
interesting,
lots of gorgeous photos, and certainly made me think twice before
cutting
the cord of my babies, we ended up leaving it for a few hours and then
it
just seemed right for us to cut, but I can see how and why for some
families
it just seems right to leave it. A bit like birth, if all's well,
leave
well alone...
