Examples

“Of reptiles there was a broken skull of some lizard, long since dead, and the eggshell of a lizardling which had hatched and gone forth upon his mission into the jungle.”

“[...] a little nest of dirty white rubber-shelled eggs, and recognized them for the treasure of Mrs. Sceloporus occidentalis, she left them there to complete⟳ their six-weeks period of incubation, and to turn⟳ into inch-long lizardlings.”

“Lizardlings thus hatch out and wander⟳ off on their own⟳ without parental contact⟳ or the opportunities for learning that such contact⟳ provides.”
