A German zoo broke the record Sunday for the world's largest Easter egg tree, decorating an oak with more than 75,000 eggs, organisers said.
The painted eggs donated by some 200 people, as well as by nurseries and schools, were hung on an American Red Oak tree before more than 3,000 spectators at the zoo in Rostock in northeastern Germany.
The 76,600 eggs are to remain in place until June 1, which had been "Children's Day" in the former East Germany.
The previous record of 20,030 eggs had been held by another eastern city, Dresden, since 2004.
Rostock zoo officials plan to apply for a mention in the Guiness Book of World Records in the coming days.
