\n The largest reptile egg in the world has been found on Antarctica.<\/p>\n

The gigantic egg, which measures more than 11 inches long and 7 inches wide, was app<\/a>arently laid by a sea monster about 68 million years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is from an animal the size of a large dinosaur \u2014 but it is completely unlike a dinosaur egg,\u201d lead author Lucas Legendre, a geoscientist at the University of Texas, said.<\/p>\n

The mother would have been at least 23 feet long from the tip of its snout to its tail. The species, described in the June 17 issue of Nature, has been named Antarcticoolithus bradyi.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is most similar to the eggs of lizards and snakes \u2014 but it is from a truly giant relative of these animals,\u201d Legendre.<\/p>\n

Based on an analysis of 259 modern reptiles and their eggs, an ancient beast known as a mosasaur would seem to match description, according to SWNS.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe egg belonged to an individual that was at least 23 feet long \u2014 a giant marine reptile,\u201d Legendre said.<\/p>\n

Beyond its record-breaking size, the scientists\u2019 finding also challenges the notion that such reptiles did not lay eggs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe almost-complete, football-sized soft-shelled egg is one of the largest eggs ever described,\u201d corresponding author Julia Clarke, also of UT, said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
