I don't think that head actually came out of that egg. It's too big to both fit into that shell and still have room for a body.

Oh, hello, mini crocodilian! Welcome to the world!

TROGDORRRR!!! Ha!

Doesn't look like there'd be room for a body in the egg...

Last one out is a rotten egg! Haw-haw! Oh, I crack myself up - get it?! Haw-haw!

Could be a bit of foreshortening instead of photoshop

Pliny sez:

"TROGDORRRR!!! Ha!

Doesn't look like there'd be room for a body in the egg..."

Yeah, especially one with all those consummate V's and a beefy arm for good measure.

no photoshop there--it's a TimesUK photo and everything about it looks right: the other eggs pipping at the same time in the incubator, the amazing way herps are folded into their eggs, the newness of the baby's giant noggin--all real. So sez the former reptile house zookeeper.

Leslie
 |  May 13, 2008 at 07:25 PM

Definitely 'shopped! Cute, though...

LONE--favorite comment! What gator buy wid all that cash? Scratch-Off ticket, "Reptile Riches?"

Totalee Puppy
 |  May 13, 2008 at 07:48 PM

Not shopped - there's a pliable membrane under the hard shell - the hard shell drops off and the baby (reptile or bird, either one) pokes its head thru' the membrane, which then closes, making it look like the baby stuck its head thru' a pinhole. It's amazing to watch an "egg baby" unfold - it never seems possible that all that baby fit into the tiny shell.

If I'm not mistaken, that baby just cried, "Bleen!"

Sprock
 |  May 13, 2008 at 08:00 PM

Holy moly! As if all that could fit in that wee little egg. How sweet! <3

I must check the half dozen I just bought.

Hon Glad
 |  May 13, 2008 at 11:20 PM

Wow... doesn't even look like its head would fit in the egg. Can't even imagine exactly how it's positioned in there to fit!

What mom during childbirth or directly afterwards when holding a nice-sized baby for the first time doesn't kinda think "dude, that was sooo 'shopped". Lesson: big bebes come from small places.

Birdcage
 |  May 14, 2008 at 03:50 AM

i'll pass on the omelette this morning, dear.

i love the sounds the babies make when they come out of their shells, calling to their moms. "ahng, ahng, ahng!"

Birdcage, I think you are my new best friend.
I snickered, I LOLed, I showed my wife. And so did she.

Theo
 |  May 14, 2008 at 04:57 AM

...well, she snickered and LOL'd, anyway

Theo

Great, just what we need more crocodiles in the world- in 36-packs even.
I'll take fluff over scales any day. But all God's creatures gotta live and that is precisely why I live in Connecticut. No crocodiles in my Stop & Shop.

Raise your hand if you're a photoshop expert...

I am INDIGNANT to see CO advocating underage crocodile beer-drinking.

Birdcage's comment FTW.

I'm amazed that mass o' head fit inside the egg. And how he's got personality already! :)

... And oft in some far Coptic town / The Missionary sits him down / To breakfast by the Nile: / The heart beneath his priestly gown / Is innocent of guile; / When suddenly the rigid frown / Of Panic is observed to drown / His customary smile. ... Why does he start and leap amain / And scour the sandy Libyan plain /Like one that wants to catch a train / Or wrestles with internal pain? ... Because he finds his egg contain -- / Green, hungry, horrible and plain -- / An Infant Crocodile.

(Hilaire Belloc)
