Very interesting, especially the second article. That is an amazing behavior. The article doesn’t touch on that disturbing the previous clutch may kill the babies inside though.

Hard to know if the babies would make it from the first clutch. Would disturbing the position of the eggs cause deaths? Also hard to know if she really did it on purpose.

Interesting film...near the end there is a female panther laying eggs and one miniature species laying eggs on the forest floor...
