Two Gecko Eggs Versus a Chicken Egg! by Barry Artiste

Imagine cracking open your breakfast egg and finding -- a dead gecko. But how did a gecko get inside a chicken egg?

Scientists don't have a clue.

Australian scientists are trying to crack the mystery of how a tiny lizard found its way inside a chicken’s egg.

The bizarre discovery was made by a doctor in Darwin as he made dinner earlier this week.

Peter Beaumont broke open an egg and was shocked to find a dead gecko inside. “I was cracking the eggs into a pan when I noticed one of them was all cloudy. I looked at the shell and saw a tiny gecko,” he said.

The lizard could not have entered the egg after it was cracked open because it was embedded between the interior of the shell and the egg’s membrane, he said.
