\nThe asymmetrical design of eggs is intriguing and can be a challenge to depict. What is the advantage of being egg-shaped?<\/p>\n
It turns out that, in the nesting context, their asymmetrical shape causes eggs to group together, leaning inwards towards each other. Moreover, on a gentle hill, an egg won’t roll ‘away’: its shape causes it to find a lowest point and remain there, for easy recollection.<\/p>\n
BTW: I’m referring, of course, to chicken eggs. I’ve heard that not all eggs have the familiar shape we know as the “egg shape.” Perhaps I’ll follow up about some eggs that are shaped differently.<\/p>\n
Interesting, eh?<\/p>\n
