Depicted Animal

Struthio camelus  LINNAEUS, 1758
2.5 M    

Common names: (English • Deutsch • Français • Español) - Ostrich or common ostrich • Afrikanischer Strauss • Autruche d’Afrique • Avestruz
Systematics: Struthionidae, Struthioniformes, Palaeognathae (= «Ratitae» + Tinamiformes), Aves
Habitat: terrestrial; cursorial

The African or common ostrich is not only a bird unable to fly, but also the largest representative of the Aves living on earth. Whilst it is now distributed in Africa, South of the Sahara, it was also native to western Asia in former times. The ostrich has always been a valuable raw material supplier (meat, leather, eggs, feathers) for humans and hence went extinct in many regions. Today the bird is often held as productive livestock (ostrich ranches) to the same end.
