That was your main learning from that article ;)? Not that a gecko can apparently climb up a chickens cloaca and have an egg shell formed around them? I didn't really have a clear mental picture of how eggs are formed, but whatever I did have certainly didn't admit the possibility that something could climb in before the shell arrived. Nature is pretty amazing

Just in case people are confused by how to pronounce this, it is oo as in book, not moo. If you are from northern England/Scotland that probably won’t help you much though.

It’s also used in a range of phrases such as “you silly old chook!”

lol Sometimes I forget our language colloquialisms can be really alien to others.

Chook is such an every day usage word in my part of the world..

"Cooked chook" (roast chicken) "silly chook" (silly woman)

etc etc
