About the Book

Fachbuch aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Paläontologie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ein bis zu 3 Meter hoher und mehr als 400 Kilogramm schwerer gefiederter Riese steht im Mittelpunkt des Taschenbuches "Aepyornis - Der Vogel, der die größten Eier legte". Er war der Rekordhalter unter den Elefantenvögeln, die vom Eiszeitalter vor etwa 2 Millionen Jahren bis vielleicht zur Heutzeit im 17. Jahrhundert auf der Insel Madagaskar vor der Ostküste von Afrika existierten. Weibliche Tiere des "Großen Elefantenvogels" (Aepyornis maximus) legten riesige Eier mit einer Länge bis zu 35 Zentimetern, einem Umfang von maximal 1 Meter und einem Gewicht von 12,5 Kilogramm, was rund 210 heutigen Hühnereiern entspricht. Für das Aussterben der Elefantenvögel auf Madagaskar dürften Menschen verantwortlich gewesen sein. Sie zerstörten durch Brandrodung den Lebensraum der Riesenvögel, jagten sie, aßen ihr Fleisch und ihre Eier. Nach Ansicht von Kryptozoologen beruht die Legende vom sagenumwobenen Vogel Roch, der angeblich im Flug einen Elefanten transportieren konnte, auf dem ausgestorbenen Elefantenvogel Aepyornis maximus. Verfasser des Taschenbuches "Aepyornis - Der Vogel, der die größten Eier legte" ist der Wiesbadener Wissenschaftsautor Ernst Probst, der zahlreiche Werke über urzeitliche Tiere geschrieben hat.
About the Author: Ernst Probst, geboren 1946 in Neunburg vorm Wald (Bayern), absolvierte ab 1960 in Nürnberg erfolgreich eine Schriftsetzerlehre und wurde 1970 nach einem anderthalbjährigen Volontariat Zeitungsjournalist in Nürnberg, Bayreuth und Mainz. In seiner Freizeit schrieb er zahlreiche populärwissenschaftliche Artikel für Tageszeitungen (FAZ, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Welt, Berliner Morgenpost, Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung, Südwest Presse Ulm, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Wiener Zeitung, Salzburger Nachrichten, Oberösterreichische Nachrichten), Zeitschriften (kosmos, Damals, bild der wissenschaft, Deutsches Allgemeines Sonntagsblatt), Wissenschaftsdienste (Deutscher Forschungsdienst) und Nachrichtenagenturen (dpa, AP, KNA, epd) in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz sowie mehr als 300 Bücher, Taschenbücher, Broschüren und E-Books über die Erdgeschichte, Menschheitsgeschichte und berühmte Frauen. Sein Buch "Deutschland in der Urzeit" (1986) gilt als das erste populärwissenschaftliche Werk über die Erdgeschichte von Deutschland und wurde im "Spiegel" vorgestellt. Seine Werke über die Urzeit, Steinzeit, Bronzezeit, Dinosaurier, Raubkatzen und berühmte Personen befinden sich in zahlreichen Bibliotheken der ganzen Welt und werden in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zitiert.
