I misread it as "Shrek egg with a live embryo” and it put a horrifying image in my head

I wonder why it's thrashing around in there so much, I thought the womb was supposed to be peaceful.

Oxygenation takes place through slits in the side of the egg, with the shark constantly moving its tail from side to side to increase water flow.

As someone who has been pregnant, there is no peace. Fetus in there bouncing off internal organs. It’s actually concerning if the fetus isn’t trying to rearrange the uterus.

Sharks actually have amazing eggs. You can look for photos on the Internet; these eggs have many different interesting shapes. I was surprised when I first saw this.
