##@&$§*--¨ absolutely spherical egg. find it on ¨--*§$&@##
&§-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ large sandy beaches, upshore where ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-§&
##@&$§*--¨ dunes meet shadowy pines. teal egg, ¨--*§$&@##

###&$§*--¨ warm-blooded creature. lanky meat, ¨--*§$&###
#&§--¨¨¨¨¨ incredible meat inside, mostly tendons. ¨¨¨¨¨--§&#
##@&$§*--¨ slithery but strong. ¨--*§$&@##
###&$§*--¨ ¨--*§$&###
##@&$§*--¨ the egg has an opening. the egg has a ¨--*§$&@##
&$$$§---¨¨ belly button. looks like a rubber ¨¨---§$$$&
##@&$§*--¨ vortex, the crust gets soft and becomes ¨--*§$&@##
##@&$§*--¨ a hole. ¨--*§$&@##

#&$*--¨¨¨¨ certainly eats insects most of the ¨¨¨¨--*$&#
