Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Egg pulling refers to collecting eggs from the wild and hatching them in zoos or research centers in order to increase the captive population of a species. This is often done to preserve endangered species or to build up populations for reintroduction into the wild. Techniques used to extend the breeding span of captured birds (A) and using fertility drugs to increase productivity (C) are not the same as egg pulling. Production of hybrids in captive breeding programs (D) may or may not involve egg pulling, but it is not directly related to the term. Collecting unfertilized eggs from ovaries of wild animals (E) would not be considered egg pulling, as the eggs would not be viable for hatching.
