Amniotic Egg

Amniotic Egg:
An amniotic egg is an egg that can develop and live on land because it is protected by a water impermeable membrane. Within the membrane the egg goes through embryonic development with the help of a pool of liquid that is used as a food source. The photo I have is a photo of an egg that is usually used as a food source. This is an amniotic egg because the shell is the water proof membrane, within the shell the egg itself is supposed to develop with the help of a food source, the yolk.
