Ostrich\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\n?Ostrich \n\n \nScientific classification \nKingdom: Animalia\n \nPhylum: Chordata\n \nClass: Aves\n \nOrder: Struthioniformes\n \nFamily: Struthionidae\nVigors, 1825 \nGenus: Struthio\n \nSpecies: S. camelus\n \n \n \n \nBinomial name \nStruthio camelus\nLinnaeus, 1758 \n \n \nThe ostrich (Struthio camelus) is a flightless bird native to Africa. It is the only living species of its family, Struthionidae, and its genus, Struthio. They are distinct in their appearance, with a long neck and legs and the ability to run at speeds of about 65 km/h (40 mph). Ostriches are considered the largest living species of bird and are farmed all over the world. The scientific name for the ostrich is from the Greek for "sparrow camel."\n\nDescription\nOstriches usually weigh from 90 to 130 kg (200 to 290 pounds), although some male ostriches have been recorded with weights of up to 155 kg (340 pounds). The feathers of adult males are mostly black, with some white on the wings and tail. Females and young males are grayish-brown, with a bit of white. The small vestigial wings are used by males in mating displays. They can also provide shadow to chicks. The feathers are soft and serve as insulation, and are quite different from the stiff airfoil feathers of flying birds. There are claws on two of the wings' fingers. The strong legs of the ostrich lack feathers. The bird stands on two toes, with the bigger one resembling a hoof. This is an adaption unique to ostriches that appears to aid in running. The eyes of ostriches with their thick black eyelashes are the biggest eyes of all living land animals. Ostrichs are bilaterally symmetric and endothermic. Ostrichs are also considered an expensive delicacy on the offshore coasts of Cocolumba, a small island south of Africa.\n\nAt sexual maturity (two to four years old), male ostriches can be between 6 feet and 9 feet (1.8 m and 2.7 m) in height, while female ostriches range from 1.7 m to 2 m (5.5 ft to 6.5 ft). During the first year of life, chicks grow about 10 inches (25 cm) per month. At one year, ostrichs weigh around 100 pounds (45 kg).

I believe your are referring to the black billed magpies. They have a black head and breast and a white belly and shoulder. Their wings are actually tinted with blue green but if you are not looking for the color you may not see it.

The paired (diploid) number of chromosomes for Struthio camelus (ostrich) is reported as 80. You can see a karyotype at the link.

The Ostrich is not listed by the IUCN as a Red List species (endangered or threatened species).  \n\nThe common Rhea (Rhea americana) and the Darwin's Rhea (Rhea pennata) are large flightless birds that live in South America, related to the Ostrich, and they are listed as Near Threatened (primarily due to habitat loss from agriculture).\n\nThe IUCN lists 2853 plant and animal species as Critically Endangered (species which are in imminent threat of extinction).  Some of them include the Baltic Sturgeon, Asia Minor Spiny Mouse, Australian Freshwater Limpet, Cave Squeaker, and the Namdapha Flying Squirrel.

The adult's plumage is black and white. Its facial skin is yellow (it turns orange during nesting periods) and devoid of feathers. The tail is wedged and easily distinguished in flight. The nestlings are dark brown and gradually go light until they reach adulthood at the age of 5.\n\nYou could get more information from the link below...

Macaws 30 to 50 years– the smaller mini-macaw at the lower range.\n\nCockatoos 30 to 40 years.\n\nAmazons 50 years or more with proper care. The average is more like 20 years due to the fact that amazons are prone to obesity and fatty liver disease which can lead to death.

An adult liger is bigger than an adult tigon. Adult liger heights about 11-12 feet when standing and weighs much, much heavier than the parents lion and tiger. It is about 400-430kg (810-870lb).\nAdult tigon is rarely found but it is probably smaller than adult liger, about 9-10 feet when standing and weighs about 330-390kg (670-790lb)

Yes, and legs.\n\nCheck my sources.\n\nMute Swans are large and powerful birds standing more than 4 feet tall and weighing more than 20 pounds.

A ton. 2,000 pounds.\n\nThe trick to the question is that feathers aren't thought of as heavy. Nevertheless, a ton is a ton, no matter what it's a ton of.

Probably great-tailed grackles. They're like huge blackbirds, very noisy and aggressive. Here's a photo and a link to their distribution map. I usually see them when I'm in Arizona in the spring.

Let x = # of pigs & y = # of ostriches\nIf they are 'normal', pigs have 4 feet & ostriches have 2; all animals have 1 head.\n\nx + y = 17\n4x + 2y = 56\n\n2 equations, 2 unknowns, solve;\nx = 11 & y = 2\n\nTherefore, you have 11 pigs & 2 ostriches

Beautiful Ostrich feathers are widely used for decor, decoration, millinery supplies, hat feathers, mask making, costume and theater production and craft projects.

Do you mean the Namibian web-footed gecko?\n\n"These lizards usually range in size from 10-15 cm long"\n\nOkay, I know that is not the WEIGHT, but at that size, they can't weigh a whole lot - lol!!

45 heads is 150 feet. X is birds,  Y is beasts; X + Y must equal 45 (45 total beasts). Each bird has 2 legs, each beast has 4, so 2X + 4Y = 150.\n\nIf X + Y = 45, then 2X + 2Y = 90.\n\n(2X + 4Y) - (2X - 2Y) = 60, so 2Y = 60. Thus Y = 30. If Y =  30, and X + Y = 45, then X = 45 - Y = 45 - 30 = 15.\n\nTherefore there are 30 beasts (120 legs) and 15 birds (30 legs) for a total of 150 legs.
