An egg is clever.

The markings on some eggs help them blend in with their surroundings. This is called camouflage. Camouflage is an egg’s way of hiding.

An egg might be speckled to resemble the rocks around it. Or it might be gray, the color of mud by a lake. An egg does not want to be eaten by a raccoon or a snake or a fox or an insect.

Eggs come in different sizes.

Anna’s Hummingbird

An ostrich egg can Weigh as much as 8 pounds. It is so big and so round, it takes two hands to hold one egg.

Hummingbird eggs are the size of a jelly bean. It would take about 2,000 hummingbird eggs to equal the size of one ostrich egg.
