| Eggs from a type of bird/mammal that lived mainly in the plains of Ethiopia, in certain parts of Norway, and in the Kent region of south east England. The Hunjavvi was said to have been a cross between a golden eagle and winged-shrew, although most scholars these days say that such a creature could never have existed. In fact, most now believe the Hunjavvi to have been an ordinary pigeon. | Eggs from a type of bird/mammal that lived mainly in the plains of Ethiopia, in certain parts of Norway, and in the Kent region of south east England.
