Framed Print of Elephant Bird, Aepyornis egg
MODEL RELEASED. Elephant bird egg (Aepyornis maximus) with hens egg for comparison. The egg volume is about 160 times greater and holds around 7 to 10 litres. The elephant bird Aepyornis Maximus, laid the largest eggs (and hence the largest single cells) of any animal including the extinct dinosaurs. Scientists postulate it is at the extreme of size that a calcified egg shell can reach. It is robust, whilst at the same time having a thin enough shell for the hatchling to be able to escape. The extinction of Aepyornis appears to have been related to human colonisation of Madagascar in the last 1000 years. The last Aepyornis may have survived to the 16th century. This egg was found in sand dunes near Cap Sainte Marie in the extreme south of Madagascar.
