Speaking of pregnant snakes, do sea snakes lay their eggs ashore like sea turtles or do they keep them internally until the young are ready to hatch/ be born, like some sharks? These do lay eggs on land and are (reasonably) mobile once they hit the beach. Hat-tip to Stella. Renato-yes…plenty of diversity here!
Animal Ethics

One cannot produce eggs or dairy products on a large scale without the wholesale exploitation of animals. Since the male offspring of dairy cows don't produce milk, they are sold to veal farms, where they are permanently confined in veal crates that prevent them from moving or turning around.

This happened to me recently on a birding trip, with somewhat egg-on-the-face results. Back in the truck, working on our back spasms, we drove a hundred yards south, then turned east, passing a farm house which had feeders out front, and where a flock of Bohemian Waxwings had been reported that same morning. Hat-tip to Stella.

When they walk, their tail hangs down, but when they run, their tail sticks up, with the bushy tip hanging down. They are the heaviest and largest living birds, with adult common ostriches weighing anywhere between 140-320 lbs and laying the largest eggs of any living land animal. Ostrich eggs have been used by humans for millennia.
