description:
Aepyornis egg with Humming bird eggs for comparison. This rare specimen is the second of 2 intact eggs from the Zoology collection, catalog #ZO.7078. This giant, flightless bird also known as an Elephant bird has been extinct for several hundred years. Due to their fragile nature, an intact egg from this bird is extraordinary.
