Love to watch this stuff!
I guess they have to hurry up and get to the surface so they can start breathing once they are out of the shell!!??

In one of the videos, the guy says they sometimes spend a bit of time underground before they finally emerge. Not sure how they breathe and avoid ingesting large amounts of sand and dirt.
