Emperor penguin egg

Emperor penguin egg collected in 1911, on Scotts last expedition to Antarctica. The hole shows where the embryo was removed for study. This is 1 of only 3 penguin eggs collected when fresh under extremely harsh conditions in Antarctica by members of Captain Robert Falcon Scotts Terra Nova expedition team. It was hoped that the embryos inside would confirm a link between reptiles and birds. Date: 1911
