Turtles are fascinating.
Off topic to hatching eggs, but the leatherback turtle is seriously cool. They live off jellyfish and have this specialised oesophagus to move them down to the stomach.
The whole video is interesting, but you can watch from around the 20 minute mark to check out the oesophagus
