Great White Shark Fetus
Great white shark embryos are known to feed on “nutritious eggs” in the womb (omopagic viviparity). Research conducted by Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in 2016 determined that the female secretes a lipid-rich liquid called “womb milk” as a source of nutrition. The embryos develop by feeding on eggs produced by the mother after drinking the milk in the womb.
