Amniotic Egg
An egg with a shell and membrane to protect the embryo, an egg laid by birds, reptiles, and mammals
Real World Example
Imagine trying to transport a fragile item, like a piece of fine china, through a bustling and chaotic environment. To ensure its safety, you would wrap it in protective materials like bubble wrap and place it in a sturdy box to shield it from external impacts and jostling. Similarly, an amniotic egg acts as a protective container for the developing embryo, with the shell and membranes serving as the box and bubble wrap, safeguarding the embryo from the harsh external environment. Just as the packaging keeps your china safe during its journey, the amniotic egg's shell and membranes protect the embryo, providing a secure and supportive environment until it's ready to hatch.
