An international team of researchers have captured the clearest images to date of a foetus.

The incredibly detailed footage was captured using computer-guided ultrasound technologies.

In the short clip, the foetus can be seen fiddling with its umbilical cord, turning its head from side to side and stretching in the mother's womb.

The 24-second video scan ends with the cheeky little one giving its mum an enormous kick with both legs, causing her belly to wobble.
