Description

African Ostrich - female with 2 chicks at different stages of growth Struthio camelus Cape of Good Hope, South Africa 7th. October 2009

This "fact" (not fully substantaited) may account for the variation in chick size:

• When family groups of ostriches meet, they may challenge each other with short chases, then the winning adult pair takes all the chicks with them. Some of these "ostrich nurseries" can end up with 300 chicks and only a couple of adults to look after them all! <a href="http://www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/t-ostrich.html" rel="nofollow">www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/t-ostrich.html</a>
