Amniotic egg

This is a picture on a chicken's egg. A chicken's egg is an example of an amniotic egg. Some animals give birth to eggs instead of having a live birth like humans. This allows that embryo to grow inside of the egg while it is growing, and once it has matured, it breaks the shell. Amnion is a fluid that is inside of the egg that protects the embryo until it is ready to hatch. Reptiles, birds and some mammals are examples of animals that are surrounded by an amniotic egg before they are hatched.
