The Brain Scoop: The Egg Collection!

 

The latest episode on the Field Museum’s “The Brain Scoop” channel is “The Egg Collection!”.  There’s an Elephant Bird egg, Kiwis, Ostriches, and much, much more!

Eggs! There are around 10,800 different species of birds, all which lay eggs that vary in size, color, shape, and parental care required. Dr. John Bates pulled some highlights from the Field Museum’s egg collection to share these fragile, historically important and BEAUTIFUL specimens with us. “The Book of Eggs” by Mark E.
