Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Turtles and tortoises are known to require a diapause period (a period of suspended development) during incubation for their embryos to develop properly and hatch successfully. During this period, the embryos stop developing and remain in a state of inactivity until conditions become favourable for them to resume their growth, usually after a period of a few months. Other reptiles, such as crocodiles, snakes, and lizards, do not require a diapause period during incubation.
