The Struthio camelus or Ostrich is a species of flightless bird native to certain large areas of Africa.
The Struthio camelus or Ostrich is the largest living species of bird and largest living dinosaur.
Ostrich eggs are the largest eggs laid by any living bird. They are cream-colored, glossy, and have thick shells with small pits.
Ostrich eggs are about 6 inches long and 5 inches wide.They weigh about 3 pounds, which is roughly the same as two dozen chicken eggs. The incubation period is about 42–46 days.
Females incubate the eggs during the day, and males incubate them at night. The female’s light coloring helps her blend in with the sand, while the male’s darker coloring offers nighttime protection.
Ostriches can lay eggs until they are 40 years old. A female ostrich can lay 40–100 eggs a year. Ostriches lay their eggs in communal pits.
Males stand 6 ft 11 in to 9 ft in. tall and weigh 220–290 lb., whereas females are about 5 ft 9 in to 6 ft 3 in. tall and weigh 200–260 lb.
Mating patterns differ by geographical region, but territorial males fight for a harem of two to seven females.
Struthio camelus or Ostrich chicks are fawn in color, with dark brown spots. After three months they start to gain their juvenile plumage, which is steadily replaced by adult-like plumage during their second year.
At four or five months old, they are already about half the size of an adult bird, and after a year they reach adult height, but not till they are 18 months old will they be fully as heavy as their parents.
The feathers of adult Struthio camelus or Ostrich males are mostly black, with white primaries and a white tail. Females and young males are grayish-brown and white.
The head and neck of both male and female ostriches are nearly bare, with a thin layer of down. The skin of the female’s neck and thighs is pinkish gray, while the male’s is gray or pink dependent on subspecies.
