Ostrich

Description:

The feathers of adult males are mostly black, with white primaries and a white tail. However, the tail of one subspecies is buff. Females and young males are greyish-brown and white. The head and neck of both male and female ostriches is 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 blue-gray, gray or pink dependent on subspecies.

Habitat:

Semiarid desert of the Tankwa National Park.

Notes:

We spot a group of four. Sadly they were very scared of the vehicle as with many animals in this park. Leading us to believe that there is illegal hunting taking place.
