Eggs of Earth · S7 E3
In Wild Child season 7, episode 3, Sheinelle Jones explores the remarkable range of animals that begin life inside eggs. Eggs of Earth moves across examples that challenge familiar assumptions about hatching wildlife, from cassowary chicks and sea dragons to Australia’s egg-laying mammals. The episode uses these animals to show how varied reproduction can be across the natural world, while keeping the focus on the young creatures emerging from eggs and the features that make them distinctive.
Cassowary Chicks and Sea Dragons
Sheinelle Jones’s journey brings together animals from very different environments, including cassowary chicks and sea dragons. Their inclusion places the episode’s central subject in a broad wildlife context, showing that egg-laying animals are not confined to one type of habitat or appearance. The focus remains on the hatchlings and the unusual biology that makes each example part of Earth’s wider animal story.
Australia’s Egg-Laying Mammals
The programme also turns to Australia’s egg-laying mammals, adding a particularly unusual chapter to its exploration of hatchlings. Alongside the birds and marine animals featured in the episode, these mammals demonstrate the range of reproductive strategies found in the animal kingdom.

The episode features humpback whale calves, newborn giraffes, capybara pups and emu hatchlings, using these young animals to explore the varied ways wildlife begins life.

Capybaras and emus add two further examples of unusually large young animals, giving the programme a broad comparison across mammals and birds.
