I met this Struthio camelus a few years ago in Swaziland.
The subspecies Struthio camelus syriacus became extinct around 1966.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabian_ostrich: ‘The widespread introduction of firearms and, later, motor vehicles marked the start of the decline towards extinction of this subspecies.’
He’s amazing!
