Ostrich

“Struthio camelus, the Ostrich or “Camel-bird” of North Africa now extends from Barbary to Arabia, and even to Mesopotamia, though no longer found, as of old, in Egypt or Central Asia...". “It is black with white wings and tail, having a flesh coloured with brownish down, and practically bare tibiae of the same hue.” “The Ostrich stands about eight feet high, being the largest of existing birds.” - A. H. Evans, 1900
