I’m in Southern California for work this week.
The aquarium at Scripps is doing some kind of Easter-related promotion. In the entryway there was a table with trays of various underwater eggs, including these hilariously-shaped shark eggs. (The table has a multicolored tablecloth, so the backgrounds of these photos are a bit distracting.)
I can’t imagine what purpose these shapes can serve.
They also had several strings of squid eggs (a plaque claims that rafts of squid eggs are often ‘as big as a two-car garage.’) There were also freshly-hatched baby squid — they didn’t look like much in person, but zoomed in a bit one of the photos I took looks pretty good.
The rest of these pictures should be self-explanatory.
