A shocked gran cracked open a huge egg to reveal another intact one inside.
Sara López filmed her grandmother picking up an egg the size of a clenched fist from the table.
She cracks it on the edge of a bowl, opens it up, and tips the contents into the crockery.
Sara and her nan are stunned as two eggs – one still enclosed in its shell and the other not – spill into the bowl.

The egg in its shell appears to be the size of a typical egg you’d buy from a supermarket.
One of the shocked women says: “Oh.
“This is really bizarre, what a strange thing! Inside the egg, another egg.”
Sara’s gran goes on to crack the second egg into the bowl and its contents look as they should.

Paloma said: “Did anyone else think it was a potato?”
Mansilla joked: “So we can say the egg came first.”
And a second Paloma quipped: “It’s clearly a Kinder egg.”
When a hen lays an egg inside another egg, the process is known as counter-peristalsis contraction.
It happens when a fully formed egg moves backwards in a hen’s oviduct and gets trapped inside a second egg during its development.
The second egg forms around the first one, resulting in its unusually large size.
The phenomenon is rare.
Replying to a netizen who thought the eggs looked “awful”, Sara revealed: “It was delicious.”
