Jumpy, shaky a little blurry in imagery and contrast Nobody ever saw that gigantic fowl, the Aepyornis Titan, because he was extinct before the coming of man. But a Madagascan native has just found one of the bird's eggs. The huge egg weighted twenty-five pounds when laid, is a foot long and ten inches wide.
