Darwin's Dragons - Session 14 - Reading Comprehension answers

In "Darwin's Dragons" Session 14, Covington has sustained lasting injuries from his time on the island, including hearing loss in one ear and scars from burns. Darwin seeks Covington's finch sketches to complete his records for presentation to the Royal Society. The phrase 'out of sorts' is clarified as meaning irritable. Covington is shocked and in disbelief when he sees a hatchling resembling Farthing. Darwin reassures him by likening the hatchlings to Komodo Dragons. The group is intrigued by the irregular hatching times of the eggs, as they normally hatch simultaneously. Covington is uncomfortable with the idea of dissecting the last egg, seeing it as a waste of life.
