15 Pictures That Prove Nature Is the Best Cloning Machine

When a soon-to-be-parent finds out they’re expecting a baby, their brains start to boil. They usually wonder what, or who, their child will look like. Brown hair? Blonde hair? Red hair? No hair? Our today’s heroes must have surprised their parents and other relatives, because they look like almost an exact copy of one of their family members.

We at Now I’ve Seen Everything love seeing how genetic codes leave imprints from generation to generation, and that’s why we made a compilation of 15 pics that show the copying power of genetics.

1. “My mom on the right in 1965, and my daughter on the left in 2014”
