Golden eggs
Not from a goose but from a shark—the Whitespotted Bamboo Shark (Chiloscyllium plagiosum), to be exact. Found among the coral reefs of the west Pacific, including the Philippines, this small, one-meter, nocturnal shark lays eggs that are five inches long. These back-lit eggs showing the fascinating development of the shark inside are in the Ang Kalaliman (The Deep) section of the Manila Ocean Park. I assure you that these sharks are very much alive. In fact, the guy in the middle was wriggling so much I had to take several shots before I got one with both his head and tail in the photo.

Isn't nature amazing? Great shot, Hilda.
This is absolutely incredible. I would have no idea what this was without your explanation! Shark eggs! Who'd think that?
Delightful post, Hilda!
Amazing picture and great information. Absolutely unique! Thank you for sharing it.
haha! for real? ^0^
scary lil sharks!
I still say you go to some of the coolest places. This photo is great Hilda.
beautiful animalist photo
Wow, that's fantastic!
c'est surprenant à voir et en même temps cela fait penser a une vraie œuvre d'art.
it is surprising to see and at the same time it sounds like a true work of art.
This is the oddest of all the odds shots I have ever seen! And a very good image, but I don't like sharks, neither as eggs...
How amazing!! Who would have thought!
And easier than getting an ultrasound, I imagine. :)
shark eggs....wow...awesome....
there's a new attraction there. the dancing jellyfishes.
Those are really intriguing, Hilda.
Fascinating! I've never seen anything like that.
Wow! That's a neat display.
That is fascinating Hilda! I think the one in the middle looks a little bit like a tadpole, but that's probably the angle he is at.
reat shot! And a fantastic exhibit. As the shark on the right hatches and swims away, do they add another to the left?
This is just incredible! I've never seen anything like this.
That is very cool! Very!
First time in my life that I see something like that!Amazing!
