As a freshwater fishkeeper, it's been interesting to see the parenting activities of various species of fish I've kept. Most are "egg scatterers" and do nothing as parents once fertilization has taken place (tetras, danios, rasboras). Some are "egg gatherers" and scoop up fertilized eggs to place in a nest of sorts (bettas, gouramis). Some have special spots to lay eggs which are then fertilized and protected by the parents even after hatching (shell dwellers, angelfish, discus, other cichlids). And some are live-bearers (guppies, platys, mollies). It's so interesting how evolution works in both fish and reptiles!
I keep livebearers, plecos, and corydoras. The livebearers will eat their babies if given the chance. I've found it best and easiest to provide lots of hiding places for the babies, but some people keep them separate in breeding nets. Plecos, the male will set himself up in a cave, a female will visit him in his cave and lay her eggs, and them he will fertilise them and stay with them, wafting water over them, until they hatch and are ready to leave the cave. Meanwhile in corydoras, apparently (I haven't had mine breed, at least not so far) the female will eat the male's sperm, and then somehow fertilise her eggs with them (nobody knows how) and then lay a clutch of eggs that they will then eat if you don't separate them. Apparently they love to lay their eggs on acrylic yarn, which makes them easy to remove if you dangle some yarn into the tank, and then move it with the eggs to a separate tank or breeding net.
When clicking the video: "Oooh is this about that Australian skink species that can choose to either lay eggs or have live young depending on the environment?" When it starts: YAY IT IS!!!
@@StonedtotheBones13 Nothing weird about these skinks, I see them all the time! Most common skink seen around here. Hell, most common squamate seen here, really.
Aren't they cute? It always brightens my day when I see one sunning themselves on a wall, a tree or such. Or even just the flash of movement as they go from almost perfectly still to zooming under cover. ❤
Oh, I didn't know that there was another species other than the european species Zootoca vivipara doing this. I keep those as pets, 3 weeks ago my females gave birth to 12 baby lizards in total, some crawling out of their mothers alive and some hatching out of their eggs 1-2 days later.
So, the question should be "Which came first, the chicken from the egg or the chicken from the chicken", which, if holding true from lizards, would be ... the chicken from the chicken. 😆
@@smurfydayright. All living birds* and as far as we know… but the list of things we know and understand is quite small compared to the list of things we don’t know or fully understand. This video is just made up of things we thing we know, but something we don’t understand is how animals went from laying eggs to giving live birth, or vice versa or why they do either. It’s a joke, but it’s serious, and we don’t have the answer, none of us, including scishow, they gave the best info the could in a 6 minute video but that’s insufficient proof of anything, which is why citing sources is important.
Is it possible that the skink has developed a way to “rescue” an egg-bound condition like snakes occasionally suffer? I know that chickens get egg-bound, too. In short, skinks are normally egg-layers, but can gestate egg-bound embryos???
Maybe, that's an interesting point! I assumed it was a way to have the best of both worlds: more babies allowed by laying eggs, but ensuring that at least one definietly makes it by keeping it safe inside.
Biology doesn't have rules, it has suggestions (and maybe, if it's really important, a bit of feedback), but generally it supports creativity using whatever you've got to hand.
Someone said 'of course it would be Australia', but there are ten known species of bimodally reproductive squamates -- i.e., those that both lay eggs and give live birth within the same species -- and they have a remarkable geographical spread! They are: Echis carinatus (snake, Middle East, central Asia, Indian subcontinent) Glaphyromorphus nigricaudis (skink, Australia and New Guinea) Helicops angulatus (snake, South America) Lerista bougainvillii (skink, Australia) Madascincus igneocaudatus (skink, Madagascar) Protobothrops jerdonii (snake, south and southeast Asia) Psammophylax variabilis (snake, eastern Africa) Saiphos equalis (skink, Australia) -- the skink in this video, and the only one observed doing both in one clutch. Trachylepis capensis (skink, southern Africa) Zootoca vivipara (lacertid lizard, Europe and northern Asia)
Well, "regular" amniotic eggs are just ova (egg cells) with a calcified shell. But it's interesting that oviparity (egg-laying) and ovoviviparity (keeping the semi-shelled egg inside until hatching) can be expressed in the same clutch.
The egg probably got stuck inside the snake so when it hatched it became a live birth it actually happens to snakes more than most would even think about but it also happens to pythons my buddy used to breed them for a living and this one he had called mama swallows and every other clutch she would lay a few eggs and birth one or two out and found out that sometimes the egg gets stuck and one of two things happen either it hatches and comes out or they both end up dieing
The ability to do both live and egg birth seems, not only interesting, but kinda opens my mind to other questions and possibilities with how I understand evolution. Are there other examples of evolution where both (or many) traits of a particular function exist? Will the skink eventually move to only one in the future? Is this common in evolutionary biology?
Aww, you didn't mention my favourite word, "ovoviviparous": producing young by eggs which are hatched within the body of the parent, as in some snakes.
This is such a cool thing! I wonder what drove all those viviparity evolutions? Lots of climate fluctuations? Being as birds can just go somewhere with better weather.
Are there any species that give birth to live females and lay male eggs or anything like that? I've heard of turtle eggs and varying temperatures changing the sex of the brood

Nope, you fell for a logical fallacy there. You think you know less because you're more aware of your previous ignorance. You didn't know what you didn't know.
Technically they all do, some just incubate them inside the body without a hard shell - and the hatching process happens inside the body as well. It's similar to but not quite the same as placental birth in mammals. It's called "ovoviviparity" - "egg-laying live-birth".

Skink: "smooth lizard with short legs"
-Snake Discovery
The irony of life is that humans would be more suitable to taking care of eggs than any other animal, yet we're stuck with live birth.
In a way we do take care of an egg in the sense that human babies are basically helpless.
