In these species, fresh eggs may be developing from the germinal epithelium throughout life. Corpora lutea are found only in mammals, and in some <a href="/wiki/Elasmobranch" class="mw-redirect" title="Elasmobranch">elasmobranch</a> fish; in other species, the remnants of the follicle are quickly resorbed by the ovary.
