Egg fact: Kiwi birds have the largest egg to body size ratio - its egg can weigh a quarter of the weight of the bird! When the baby hatches, it comes out with feathers and is developed enough to kick its way out.

Photo of a bird skeleton mounted on a stand against a black background. The bird has a long beak and long legs. Inside its body cavity, at almost the size of its body cavity, is an egg.

@vagina_museum No wonder the female just lays the egg and walks away, leaving the male to do the incubation. Smart!
