Every once in a while I like to throw in fascinating images I find on the web. Here's an amazing photo of a Chinese soft-shelled sea turtle embryo developing its shell, from the National Geographic, Nov 2013 issue.
Many of us have seen photos of developing human embryos, but likely few of us have seen one of a turtle embryo. When you look at these images, the first three stages photographed here are virtually indistinguishable from those of a human embryo.
Thanks again to National Geographic for providing us with this photo.
