The photos had to be censored because they're quite graphic. An abandoned new-born baby, said to be about 3 days old, was discovered by a man in the woods being 'eaten alive' by ants. The man, who called police, said he heard the child crying while he was taking a shortcut to work through the woods on the outskirts of Chelyabinsk, a city in Russia. The badly bitten child was lying on a pile of leaves and covered in ants. See another photo below...

Police said if the child, who still had her umbilical cord attached - hadn't been found when she was, she would died. She was rushed to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. Police are now looking for the child's parents.
