Mr Ostrich. Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I met this charming ostrich on a ranch outside Cape Town. I don`t know who was most curious, but it was a nice meeting. (maybe just for me..?)

Ostriches usually weigh from 63 to 130 kilograms although some male ostriches have been recorded with weights of up to 155 kilograms. Male ostriches can be between 1.8 and 2.8 metres while female ostriches range from 1.7 to 2 metres. An ostrich can live up to 75 years.

Hi Boa:

Undoubtedly an excellent portrait of
the " Gentleman Ostrich " his look,
his tenderness, his innocence,
his expression perhaps of curiosity,
finally a photo with many tones
in a foreground that I like much.

Enhorabuena y un saludo.

Wow, that's a great pic of this very humorous animal/bird. I like his eyes with the beautiful eyelashes :-))))
Nice DOF
