An ostrich nest typically spans 9-10 feet and can hold 30-40 eggs. The discovery of nearly 3,500 ostrich eggshell fragments within a 1x1.5 meter area marks the first evidence of ostriches in South India and provides crucial data on the extinction of megafauna—large animals over 40kg, such as horses, elephants, cattle, and hippopotamuses—in India around 40,000 years ago.
