Summary: 
Around two-thirds of baby sharks develop internally (inside the mother) and are born live, whereas the other third develop externally (in the water) protected by tough egg cases. By clearing away some of the sticky, stringy outer layers of the egg case and holding it in front of a light, you can see the developing baby shark inside. This one has its head to the left and its flexible (already stripey) tail wrapped around the nutritious yolk that gives it the energy it needs to grow. In this image, you can see one of the still largely see-through pectoral fins at the top-right. The shark’s developing eyes are only just visible.
