Why is an egg Shaped the way it is?
Some Say eggs are egg-shaped because this Shape addട to their Strength. But if it
were so simple, all eggs should have been of a spherical shape- Yet pigeons and
diving birds lay eggs that are pointy at both ends
According to a mathematician named Dr.Tamas Szekely, the egg_Shape lies in the
number of eggs a bird species lays. He found that eggs take a peculiar shape so that
as many as Possible can be packed together to get warmth from their mother, during
incubation
