The nest, a massive structure, contains 911 ostrich eggs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Researchers have found the world’s oldest Ostrich nest, dating back to 41,000 years, in Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n

The nest was discovered while archaeologists from a Vadodara University and experts from Germany, Australia and the US were investigating a fossil-rich site in Andhra Praderdsh’s Prakasam.<\/p>\n

The nest, a massive structure containing 911 ostrich eggs, offers unparalleled insights into the behavior and habitat of these ancient megafaunal birds, the researchers said,\u00a0<\/p>\n

Typically measuring between 9 to 10 feet in width, such nests were capable of holding anywhere from 30 to 40 eggs at a time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This finding represents a crucial moment in comprehending the extinction of megafaunal species in India,” said Devara Anil Kumar, Assistant Professor at MSU’s Department of Archaeology and Ancient History in Vadodara\/<\/p>\n

“The discovery of nearly 3,500 fragments of ostrich eggshells within a confined area of 1×1.5 meters not only validates the historical presence of ostriches in Southern India but also establishes the existence of the oldest known ostrich nest in the world,” he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
