Whatâs The Largest Egg Of Any Animal? Clue: It Doesn't Come From An Ostrich | IFLScience
Added: Sep 3, 2025Whatâs The Largest Egg Of Any Animal? Clue: It Doesn't Come From An Ostrich
Site: IFLScience
âThe thingâ has the worldâs largest living bird beat. Whoâs on top?
Today, the biggest egg you can get your mitts on is that of an ostrich. The biggest of those eggs on record weighed in at an impressive 2.589 kilograms (5.7 pounds), or about the weight of a small house cat. Itâs hardly surprising, given theyâre the worldâs largest birds, and they have footballs for eggs to show for it. If we take into account all the animals the worldâs ever seen, however, the ostrich egg isnât all that impressive compared to those of some extinct giants. Once upon a time (well, about 1,000 years ago), a 3-meter (10-foot) -tall behemoth stomped across Madagascar laying the biggest eggs the worldâs ever seen. They were known as the elephant birds, with one in the genus Mullerornis, while two sat in Aepyornis. Itâs thought the elephant bird Aepyornis maximus may have been the largest bird to have ever lived, weighing in at a whopping 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds). It holds another record, too, starting life by breaking out of the biggest eggs of any known animal. Behold, the egg scale! From left to right: Elephant bird, moa, ostrich, mute swan, common guillemot, chicken, little owl, and goldcrest. Donât worry, goldcrest, as The Sperm Olympics has demonstrated, size isnât everything. Image credit: Denis Bourez, CC BY 2.0 via Wikimedia Commons These elephant birdsâ eggs were about 150 times larger than your average chicken egg. Theyâre so big, in fact, that the Buffalo Museum of Science discovered one in its collection that had been mislabeled because it was so big that at first nobody thought it was real. Coming in at a close second is a dinosaur-era creature, but itâs not a dinosaur. Scientists working in Antarctica reported a curious discovery in the form of a giant egg belonging to a marine reptile that was close on the heels for gigantism to the elephant birdâs egg. Estimated to be around 66 million years ago, the football-sized egg became the first known fossil soft-shell egg to have been left on the continent and is thought to have been laid by a mosasaur. "The Thing" compared to a human. Image credit: Legendre et al. (2020) "It is from an animal the size of a large dinosaur, but it is completely unlike a dinosaur egg," said lead author Lucas Legendre, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Texas at Austin's Jackson School of Geosciences, in a statement. "It is most similar to the eggs of lizards and snakes, but it is from a truly giant relative of these animals." It was previously believed that giant marine reptiles from the Cretaceous did not lay eggs, but the mysterious leather orb would appear to contradict that. Scientists referred to the more than 28-by-18-centimeter (11-by-7-inch) stone-like fossil simply as âThe Thingâ. A flightless oviraptorosaur called Beibeilong sinensis deserves a shout out in The Big Egg Debate, also. It lived 90 million years ago, and laid eggs that were four times the size of todayâs ostrich eggs. At about 45 centimeters (18 inches) across, and weighing 5 kilograms (11 pounds), itâs an eye-watering way to come into the world, but perhaps doesnât match up to the gargantuan task facing expectant mother kiwis, whose eggs can take up 20 percent of the motherâs body. Curiously, kiwis are also the closest living relatives to the elephant birds. A lovely, full-oval moment for a brief history on Big Eggs.

Trump aides push a megabill rebrand as some House Republicans bristle - Live Updates - POLITICO Added: Sep 3, 2025
Trump aides push a megabill rebrand as some House Republicans bristle
Site: POLITICO
âThere seemed to be some recognition that weâre in trouble,â said a House Republican.
Top White House officials tried to salvage President Donald Trumpâs major legislative achievement in a Wednesday morning briefing with House Republicans, pushing a rebrand for the megabill as it flounders with key voting blocs. The main message, according to four GOP lawmakers in the room who were granted anonymity to discuss the closed-door meeting, was that the legislation is solid â you just need to sell it better. But some House Republicans bristled at the new sales pitch from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, senior Trump political aide James Blair and top Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio. The trio, as POLITICO reported, pushed a new focus on âworking families.â The Trump aides also pushed House Republicans in the room to heavily court Trump 2024 voters who traditionally donât turn out in the midterms. The briefing comes amid a spate of angry town halls over Medicaid spending cuts in the bill and Trump himself acknowledging that the law's initial âone big beautiful billâ branding doesn't convey to voters whatâs in it. âYoung Republicans, the non-midterm voters generally and entertainer/influencers are all or only what matters until Election Day 2026,â one Republican in the room texted POLITICO. But others in the room said the goal is still to educate voters about whatâs in their signature legislative accomplishment. âWhen voters are lied to by the Democrats and national media pundits, we get beat,â Rep. Addison McDowell (R-N.C.) said. âWhen voters are told the truth about what Republicans in Congress are actually doing, we win.â âThere seemed to be some recognition that weâre in trouble,â said a second House Republican. Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters after the meeting that the "working families" pivot was "not a rebranding." "House Republicans went out, panned out across the country over the district work period, and got a lot of work done," he said. "And they were talking about the one big, beautiful bill, which has also become known as the working families tax cut act, because that's what it principally represents." But House and Senate Republicans have been poring over polling showing them deep underwater on public approval of the megabill â especially the Medicaid issue â including recent internal polling in red states like Missouri. While there wasnât direct pushback in the room, several House Republicans made clear they had moved on to other topics to tout ahead of the midterms. One Republican asked how the topic of banning members of Congress from trading stocks polled â a divisive issue that House GOP leaders havenât been eager to embrace as theyâre under pressure to put a new consensus bill on the floor on the topic. A focus on economic issues was also a key point. The messaging pivot came under quick attacks from the political opposition, with a spokesperson for a major Democratic super PAC calling it "the Cracker Barrel strategy" â a reference to the restaurant chain's recently failed rebranding. "The American people see right through their rebrand and will vote Republicans out in 2026,â House Majority PAC's CJ Warnke said.
