How did the Great Indian Bustard lay two eggs at a time?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Desert National Park(DNP) had good rainfall this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to this, the number of insects and pests had also increased due to the moisture and humidity. This meant there was more food for the Great Indian Bustard. Hence, they were consequently able to lay two eggs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> Bustards usually lay only one egg in a breeding season that lasts from March to October.<\/span><\/p>\n
