This is a "bradypodion thamnobates" chameleon, it's one of the few to carry her offspring until they are ready for crapping

Can you imagine being stuck inside your mom, aware of what is going on at your birth?
Babies have awareness.
Ok. Land and run. Land and run. ...and eat.
loganwadams
In the wild do they give birth wherever? For instance, if they're 100 ft up, do they just drop the baby and hope it lands on a sturdy leaf?

it sticks to the trunk of the tree first before it falls onto the leaf. They must just find a leafy spot and hope it sticks
blacknflat
I was thinking the exact same thing.. like do they assume their babies will live no matter where they give birth
DressInDragAndDoTheHula
They get in thick leaves, and since they are so sticky they're usually fine. Plus they're not heavy enough to do too much damage i assume.
innocentmofo
size-weight ratio is on point
Holy fuck! And that little dudes like, "I'm born! I'm ready to climb some shot! Wait, give me a sec."

zeradeth
Yeah we traded teeth and claws for highly sophisticated brains. Great when we're older but we'd never survive alone as infants
stonerlibtard
You have the order wrong. High intelligence lead to bigger skulls which lead to having to be born before fully developed

This is a form of birth called ovoviviparity. Shellless eggs retained within body until mostly developed and then born at hatching time.
Idonthavealottosay
I thought eggs were coming out of its skin
StefanyLove
Me too. I found out some sharks give live birth and I'm so disturbed
Ashkaari
Other sharks lay some really strange looking eggs. Some look like big spiral shells, and others look like bags of tea.

That's some pretty hefty bullshit right there.
Watched in in my animal science class in last year!
callmethelizardqueen
I've cleaned chickens there are hard shells in there.
Yes when it's out willis

I don't know why I like this information, but I'm glad I have it now
TheSaucyCrumpet
It's not true
Hooray Omelette party my house!
ihatewarmpickles
Don't fuck around with my emotions when it comes to omlettes dude, ok now where do you live?
False. The eggs are shelled when laid, but the shell is the last thing that forms before laying.
Clear sacs liquids sacks (shells) I'm just saying it's doesn't garden or change color until it hits air
No that's complete bollocks. Sometimes chickens lay eggs without a shell, but egg shells are hard before they contact air 1/2
It's easy to prove that you're wrong, because if you were right, all eggs would have a flat bit where they squished against the ground. 2/2
itisonlyanillusion
They technically do....they just keep them inside their body until it's ready to hatch...then you get this. It's weird.

Like... humans?
No; no umbilical cord https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovoviviparity

Veiled chameleon lay eggs in holes they dig in the dirt and they incubate for like 3 months. Different incubation process but till an egg.
ThePrimrose
So what about theyre process is different than mammals?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovoviviparity no umbilical cord
chemistsdoitintesttubes
Somewhere in between, evolutionarily, I should think.
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
Not really. The important thing about mammals is mammary glands and milk production. The monotremes (platypus etc) do the best job of (1)
at least reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects, so no necessary a link to mammals. (3/3)
bridging the gap between egg-laying reptiles and milk-producing mammals. Having eggs that are stored is uncommon but does occur in (2)
Mammal young are connected to/get nutrients directly from the mother via umbilical cord. These chameleons still have eggs, just inside.
Ah of course, thanks.
dandydust
Humans have eggs inside too though
brakeurself
okay so you're saying that a chicken egg is the same level of complexity as a human egg cell
The difference is that the human fetus is connected, food and blood, to the mother. In this animal it is not connected that way.
