For years, photographer and #NatGeoExplorer Anand Varma has attempted to document the transformation of an egg into a chicken. At WonderLab, his storytelling studio in Berkeley, California, Varma and a team of photographers develop new techniques to capture nature’s finest details, from the undulations of minuscule jellyfish tentacles to the forked tongue of a hummingbird slurping up nectar. It was there that he first began experimenting with fertilized eggs from a nearby farm, carefully transferring embryos into a custom-designed incubator.He experimented by incubating embryos in artificial shells before finally capturing the transformation at 12 days old. Varma separately raised some embryos to chicks, which he donated to people in the community.From once-in-a-lifetime phenomena to elusive animals to pioneering science, view the 2025 @NatGeo Pictures of the Year at the link in bio.View all 1,864 comments
