O ovo azul acima foi colocado por uma “araucária”, uma raça de galinha nativa do Chile e uma das duas raças conhecidas que por vezes põe um ovo azul. Acontece que ele é o resultado do frango estar
infectados com um retrovírus – vírus que pode inserir sua própria informação genética no DNA do hospedeiro. Neste caso, o vírus transforma o ovo tornando-o azul.
The bluish egg above was laid by an araucana, a breed of chicken native to Chile and one of two breeds well known for occasionally popping out a blue egg. it’s the result of the chicken being infected with a retrovirus — a virus that can insert its own genetic information into the host’s DNA. In this case, the virus just happens to turn eggs blue.
These eggs are pieces of art. They are made and selled by a man named Franc Grom in Vrhnika, Slovenia. Grom uses an electric tool to drill approximately 2,500 to 3,500 holes in an eggshell but he is known to drill as many as 17000 holes on some occasions. Imagine the patience you need to create something like this… the eggs are so fragile, if you do something wrong you have to start all over, and drill another 3000 holes.
