Социальный страус – Еженедельный «Ъ» – Коммерсантъ

Страусиный веер в гробнице Тутанхамона и драгоценный груз перьев на «Титанике» — лишь эпизоды в богатой истории отношений человека и страуса. В конце XIX века благодаря этим то ли зверям, то ли птицам, а также выходцам из Российской Империи южноафриканский городок Оудсхорн превратился в мировую столицу страусоводства

СЕРГЕЙ МАНУКОВ

Удар ноги страуса — толчок к прогрессу

Во второй половине XIX века южноафриканский городок Оудсхорн производил унылое впечатление. Он находился в Капской колонии Великобритании примерно посередине между Кейптауном и Порт-Элизабет, в полусотне километров от океана. Первым европейцем, посетившим это забытое богом место в январе 1689 года, был голландский лейтенант и исследователь Исак Схрейвер.

Европейцы начали селиться в этих краях веком позже. В подавляющем большинстве это были африканеры, потомки колонистов из Голландии (буров), Франции и Германии. На берегах реки Гроббеларс вокруг голландской реформатской церкви, воздвигнутой в 1839 году, медленно рос городок. Сначала он, правда, назывался Вельдсундорп. Свое второе название — Оудсхорн — он получил в честь дочери голландского барона Питера ван Оудсхорна, назначенного Ост-Индской компанией губернатором Капской колонии, которая до Венского конгресса 1814 года принадлежала Нидерландам. Оудсхорн так и не попал в Кейптаун, который тогда назывался на нидерландский манер Капстад. Он умер на борту корабля в 1772 году во время длительного плавания к южной конечности Африки.

О глубокой провинциальности Оудсхорна в первой половине XIX века свидетельствовал не только толстый слой пыли на улицах, но и то, что первая маленькая школа в нем открылась на пару десятков лет позднее церкви. Оудсхорнцы выращивали в основном зерно, табак, а также виноград, из которого делали вино.

Жизнь в Оудсхорне текла размеренно. В шестидесятые годы позапрошлого века в городке появились муниципалитет и Сельскохозяйственное общество, затем началось строительство большой церкви. Жизнь, казалось, начала обретать городской колорит, но засуха 1859 года подкосила экономику не только Оудсхорна, но и всего юга Африки и привела к повальной бедности. Засуха продлилась десять лет. Ее сменили затяжные ливни с наводнениями.

Казалось, Оудсхорну суждено навсегда остаться захолустной бедной деревней, но в следующие пару десятилетий произошло чудо — депрессивный поселок превратился в процветающий город, жизнь в котором била ключом. Главную причину процветания Оудсхорна можно назвать одним словом — страусы.

Огромные воробьи

Древние греки называли страусов и воробьев одним словом — struthus. Во избежание путаницы к страусам начали добавлять слово megas (огромный). Известно, что страусы водились в районе Средиземноморья еще в V веке до н. э. Изображения этих птиц украшают стены многочисленных пещер Черного континента.

Страусы — самые крупные птицы на планете. Рост взрослого самца может достигать 2,5 метра, а вес — 130–140 кг. От остальных пернатых они отличаются не только размерами, но и неспособностью летать и петь. Эти недостатки страусы компенсируют быстрым бегом. Это самые быстрые живые существа, передвигающиеся на двух ногах. Они способны развивать скорость до 70 км/час.

90000 Ostrich Facts: The World’s Largest Bird 90001 90002 Ostriches are large, flightless birds that have long legs and a long neck that protrudes from a round body. Males have bold black-and-white coloring that they use to attract females. Females, on the other hand, are light brown. 90003 90002 Ostriches are bigger than any other bird in the world. They can grow up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall and can weigh up to 320 lbs. (145 kilograms), according to the African Wildlife Foundation, and an ostrich’s eyes are 2 inches (5 centimeters) in diameter — the largest of any land animal.The ostrich is the only bird that has two toes on each foot. All other birds have three or four toes, according to the American Ostrich Association. 90003 90006 Where do ostriches live? 90007 90002 Wild ostriches live in the dry, hot savannas and woodlands of Africa. They once roamed all over Asia, Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, but because they have been hunted so extensively, wild ostriches ‘range has been reduced to sub-Saharan Africa, according to the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology.However, ostriches can be found in captivity all over the world. 90003 90006 What do ostriches eat? 90007 90002 Ostriches are omnivores, which means they eat both vegetation and meat. Although they prefer plants — especially roots, seeds and leaves — they also eat locusts, lizards, snakes and rodents, according to the San Diego Zoo. They also eat sand and pebbles, to help grind up their food inside their gizzard, which is a small pouch where food is crushed and ripped up before it reaches the stomach.90003 90002 Ostriches do not need to drink water; they get all the water they need from the plants they eat. However, they do drink if they come across a watering hole. 90003 90002 90003 To attract a female, a male ostrich (shown on right wooing a female) will do a little dance in which he crouches down and alternates bringing his black-and-white wings forward, one after the other. (Image credit: Four Oaks Shutterstock) 90006 Mating habits 90007 90002 Male ostriches are called cocks or roosters, and females are called hens.A group of ostriches is called a flock. Flocks can consist of up to 100 birds, though most have 10 members, according to the San Diego Zoo. The group has a dominant male and a dominant female and several other females. Lone males come and go during mating season. 90003 90002 To get a female’s attention, males bow and flap their wings outward to display their plumage. When they are ready to mate, the male’s beak and shins will turn bright red. Sometimes, his neck will change to a red color to match.Females also change color when they are ready to mate. Their feathers will turn a silvery color, according to the American Ostrich Association. 90003 90006 Ostrich eggs & baby ostriches 90007 90002 Ostrich eggs are 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter and can weigh up to 3 lbs. (1.3 kg). Eggs are laid in a communal nest called a dump nest, which can hold about 60 eggs at one time. Males, as well as females, sit on the eggs until they hatch, which can take 42 to 46 days. 90003 90002 Ostrich offspring are larger than any other bird baby.At birth, chicks can be as big as chickens. The males and females share the responsibility of taking care of the young, according to the San Diego Zoo. During an attack, the male tries to lure the predator away from the chicks while they run for cover with the female. 90003 90002 By six months, a chick is almost at its full-grown height; at 3 or 4 years, it will reach maturity. An ostrich can live 50 to 75 years. 90003 90002 90003 The largest and heaviest living bird, the ostrich is flightless and instead is built for running.With its powerful legs, the ostrich can sprint in short bursts up to 43 mph (70 kph), and can maintain a steady speed of 31 mph (50 kph). (Image credit: Stockxpert.) 90006 Classification / Taxonomy 90007 90002 Ostriches are in the same order as cassowaries, emus, kiwis and rheas. The taxonomy of ostriches, according to the Integrated Taxonomy Information System (ITIS), is: 90003 90038 90039 90040 Kingdom 90041: Animalia 90042 90039 90040 Phylum 90041: Chordata 90042 90039 90040 Class 90041: Aves 90042 90039 90040 Order 90041: Struthioniformes 90042 90039 90040 Family 90041: Struthionidae 90042 90039 90040 Genus & species 90041: 90062 Struthio 90063 90062 camelus 90063 90042 90039 90040 Subspecies 90041: 90062 Struthio camelus camelus 90063 (red-necked or North African ostrich), 90062 Struthio camelus molybdophanes 90063 (Somali ostrich), 90062 Struthio camelus massaicus 90063 (Masai ostrich), 90062 Struthio camelus australis 90063 (South African or Southern ostrich) 90042 90079 90006 Conservation status 90007 90002 According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List, most ostrich subspecies are not endangered, though their populations are declining.The Somali ostrich is listed as vulnerable, though their population is unknown. It is believed that they are on a rapid decline. 90003 90006 Other facts 90007 90002 It may seem amazing that an ostrich’s thin legs can keep their large bodies upright. Their legs are perfectly placed so that the body’s center of gravity balances on top of its legs. 90003 90002 Their thin legs give them great speed and maneuverability, too. They can run up to 40 mph (64.3 km / h) for sustained periods of time, according to the American Ostrich Association.90003 90002 Contrary to popular belief, ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand, but they do lie down with their heads against the ground when they feel threatened. It only looks like the ostrich has buried its head because its head and neck blend in with the color of the sand. 90003 90002 Ostriches fight with their feet. They kick forward because that’s the direction in which their legs bend, according to the American Ostrich Association. A solid kick can kill a lion. 90003 90002 Ostrich feathers look shaggy because they hang loosely and do not hook together like feathers on other types of birds.90003 90006 Additional resources 90007 .90000 How to tame an Ostrich in Atlas — 90001 90002 90003 One of the most unique things about the Atlas MMO is the animal taming system. From pets to mounts, the wide variety of tameable animals and the strategies you must use to acquire them add a lot of depth to the game. One often overlooked animal that serves as a decent mount is the ostrich. Not sure how to tame them? This How to Tame an Ostrich Guide from Nerds and Scoundrels can help with that! 90004 90005 Atlas How to Tame an Ostrich Guide 90006 90003 There are two methods to taming an animal in Atlas: active taming and passive taming.90004 90003 90010 Active taming 90011: Active taming involves combat with the animal you are trying to tame. You will also need to have the skills to use a bola. Once the animal is tied up with the bola, you will need to feed it a specific food to tame it. 90004 90003 90010 Passive taming 90011: Passive taming does not require any combat. This method is only available or non-threatening animals and involves feeding them the necessary food to tame them. 90004 90017 What you will need to tame an ostrich 90018 90003 To tame an ostrich, you will need a combination of skills and items.Some items and skills are necessary for the taming process, while others are necessary if you plan on riding your ostrich once tamed. 90004 90021 Items 90022 90023 90024 A saddle — While you will not need a saddle to actually tame the ostrich, you will need one handy to ride it after it gains affinity for you. 90025 90024 Chilis — You will need chili to put in the ostrich’s inventory in order to complete the taming. 90025 90024 Bola — A ranged weapon used to bind the ostrich’s feet together to allow it to be tamed.90025 90030 90021 Skills 90022 90023 90024 Beastmastery Skills — You will need to unlock the Beastmastery tree to tame an animal. Within the tree, you will need the Taming, Riding, and Commands skill. Other helpful skills that are not mandatory include Taming Proficiency. 90025 90024 Survivalism Skills — Before you can unlock the necessary Beastmastery skills, you will need to unlock the prerequisites in the Survivalism tree first. These prerequisites include Tools of the Trade and Hand-to-Hand Combat.You can easily complete these skills by level 10. 90025 90030 90005 Taming the Ostrich 90006 90003 To tame the ostrich, you will first need to track one down and approach it. Ostriches are docile unless provoked, so once you find one you can simply walk up to it without fear of being attacked. Once you attack the ostrich, it will fight back. 90004 90003 90044 90044 90004 90003 Next, you will need to do enough damage to drop the ostrich to approximately 10 percent health. Pay attention to the color of the health meter.When at full health, the bird’s health meter will be green. As it takes damage, it will drop to yellow. Once the ostrich’s health meter hits orange you can use your bolo. Be very careful, as additional weapon damage will likely kill it. Once the bolo is used, the ostrich will be immobile. 90004 90003 90010 While immobile, the ostrich can still attack you. 90011 Granted, it can only strike what’s directly in front of its face. But if you stand within pecking range of the bird, you will get struck.Approach the downed ostrich from the back. Open the ostrich’s inventory and place the chili in it. From there, you have a pet ostrich. At this point you will need a saddle and the skill to ride to use the bird as a mount. 90004 90003 90054 90054 90004 90003 Do not have a chili? You can still capture an ostrich by subduing it with a bolo and building trap walls around it. 90004 90005 Ostrich Guide 90006 90003 The ostrich is not a bad mount to have. While not great in combat, it has some perks that make it useful especially when you consider it is not particularly difficult to tame.90004 90003 90010 Benefits 90011 90004 90023 90024 Relatively fast — while not the fastest by any means, it ostrich can get around. 90025 90024 High jumper — A unique trait to the ostrich is that it has serious jumping range. That can come in handy while riding. 90025 90024 Collects wood and thatch — Many animals automatically collect certain resources as you move around the map. The ostrich will collect wood and thatch as you ride. 90025 90030 90003 90010 Drawbacks 90011 90004 90023 90024 Low weight — The ostrich can not carry a lot.90025 90024 Low health — These birds can not take much damage, especially when they are lower level. 90025 90030 90003 90086 90086 90004 90005 Nerds and Scoundrels 90006 90003 And that’s how you tame an ostrich in Atlas.

They are the largest living bird species, and have the biggest eggs of all living birds. Ostriches do not fly, but can run faster than any other bird. 90007 [3] 90008 90009 90002 They are ratites, a useful grouping of medium to large flightless birds. Ostriches have the biggest eyes of all land animals. 90007 [4] 90008 90009 90002 Ostriches have long legs and a long neck, but they have a small head.Male ostriches have black feathers and female ostriches have gray and brown feathers. Both males and females have white feathers on their wings and tails. Male ostriches can be 1.8 — 2.7 meters / 6 — 9 feet tall, while female ostriches are 1.7 — 2 meters / 5.5 — 6.5 ft tall. They can run with a speed of about 65 kilometers per hour / 40 miles per hour. 90009 90002 Ostriches now only live in Africa. They live in open grassland called savannas in the Sahel, and in parts of East Africa and south-west Africa.Some ostriches live in areas of the Sahara desert. There used to be ostriches in Middle East in the 20th century and, further back, also in Asia. Humans hunted and ate the ostriches. They are now extinct in those areas. 90009 90002 Ostriches mainly eat plant matter, but they also eat insects. The plant matter consists of seeds, shrubs, grass, fruits and flowers while the insects they eat include locusts. Ostriches do not have teeth, and so can not grind food as mammals do. Instead, they swallow pebbles.An adult ostrich carries about 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of stones in its gizzard, a special sac just before the stomach. The pebbles grind the food, and help its digestion. When eating, their gullet is filled with food. After that, the food is passed down their esophagus in the form of a ball called a bolus. The bolus may be as much as 210 ml (7.1 US fl oz). Ostriches can live without drinking for several days. 90009 90020 Social behavior [change | change source] 90021 90022 90002 Ostriches normally spend the winter months in pairs or alone.During breeding season and sometimes during extreme rainless periods Ostriches live in nomadic groups of five to 50 birds (led by a top hen) that often travel together with other grazing animals, such as zebras or antelopes. 90007 [5] 90008 90009 90002 With their acute eyesight and hearing, Ostriches can sense predators such as lions from far away. When being pursued by a predator, they have been known to reach speeds in excess of 70 kilometres per hour (43 mph), 90007 [6] 90008 and can maintain a steady speed of 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph), which makes the Ostrich the world’s fastest two-legged animal.90007 [7] 90008 When lying down and hiding from predators, the birds lay their heads and necks flat on the ground, making them appear as a mound of earth from a distance. This even works for the males, as they hold their wings and tail low so that the heat haze of the hot, dry air that often occurs in their habitat aids in making them appear as a nondescript dark lump. 90009 90002 Ostriches can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. In much of their habitat, temperatures vary as much as 40 ° C (72 ° F) between night and day.Their temperature control mechanism relies on action by the bird, which uses its wings to cover the naked skin of the upper legs and flanks to conserve heat, or leaves these areas bare to release heat. 90009 90020 Reproduction [change | change source] 90021 A female incubating eggs in a shallow nest on the ground in the Serengeti, Tanzania 90037 90002 Ostriches become sexually mature when they are 2 to 4 years old; females mature about six months earlier than males. The mating process differs in different regions.Territorial males hiss and use other sounds to claim mating rights over a harem of two to seven hens. 90007 [8] 90008 90009 90002 Fights usually last just minutes, but they can easily cause death through slamming their heads into opponents. The successful male will then be allowed to breed with all the females in an area, but will only form a pair bond with the dominant female. 90009 90002 The females lay their fertilized eggs in a single communal nest, a simple pit, 30 to 60 centimetres (12-24 in) deep and 3 metres (9.8 ft) wide, 90007 [9] 90008 scraped in the ground by the male. The dominant female lays her eggs first, and when it is time to cover them for incubation she discards extra eggs from the weaker females, leaving about 20 in most cases. 90007 [6] 90008 90009 90002 Ostrich eggs are the largest of all eggs (and by extension, the yolk is the largest single cell), 90007 [10] 90008 though they are actually the smallest eggs relative to the size of the adult bird. 90007 [11] 90008 — on average they are 15 centimetres (5.9 in) long, 13 centimetres (5.1 in) wide, and weigh 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb), over 20 times the weight of a chicken egg. The eggs are incubated by the females by day and by the males by night. 90007 [8] 90008 This uses the colouration of the two sexes to escape detection of the nest, as the drab female blends in with the sand, while the black male is nearly undetectable in the night. 90007 [12] 90008 The incubation period is 35 to 45 days. 90009 90002 Males and females cooperate in rearing chicks.The male defends the hatchlings and teaches them to feed. The survival rate is low for the hatchlings, with an average of one per nest surviving to adulthood. 90009 90020 Predators [change | change source] 90021 90002 When threatened, the ostrich will either hide itself by lying flat against the ground, or will run away. If cornered, it can attack with a kick from its powerful legs. Common predators of nests and young ostriches include jackals, various birds of prey, mongoose and vultures. Animals that prey on ostriches of all ages include cheetahs, lions, leopards, african dogs, and spotted hyena.90007 [6] 90008 90007 [13] 90008 Ostriches can often outrun their predators in a pursuit and can even outpace cheetahs over long distances. 90007 [14] 90008 However, they may sometimes fight fiercely against predators, especially when chicks are being defended. They have sometimes killed lions in such fights. 90007 [3] 90008 90009 90002 There is no doubt that the ratites are not a monophyletic group, because they are not descended from a single ancestor. 90007 [15] 90008 That means the taxonomy of the group is going to change, and they will not all be placed in the Order Struthioniformes as they have been.However, as ornothologists have not yet agreed on a new classification, for the time being the useful term ‘ratites’ is still used. 90009 90020 Unusual morphology [change | change source] 90021 90002 Ostriches are likely to be placed alone in the order Struthioniformes. They have a number of peculiarities which suggest a separate evolution from the rest of the ratites. They lack a gallbladder. 90007 [16] 90008 They have three stomachs, and the caecum is 71 cm (28 in) long. Unlike all other living birds, the Ostrich secretes uric acid separately from faeces.90007 [17] 90008 Unlike all other birds, who store the uric acid and faeces together, and excrete them together, ostriches store the faeces at the end of their rectum. 90007 [17] 90008 They also have unique pubic bones that are fused to hold their gut. Unlike most birds the males have a penis, which is retractable and 8 in (20 cm) long. Their palate (bone on the roof of the mouth) differs from other ratites. 90007 [6] 90008 90009 90002 Ostriches are farmed in several countries. They used to be prized for their feathers, but are now farmed for their meat and eggs.Their skin can also be used to make leather. 90009 90002 In South Africa, hunters can get one group of feathers from one wild ostrich. When they are farmed, every seven or eight months farmers can take groups of feathers from the ostriches. They will grow back and can be collected again a in seven or eight more months. 90007 [18] 90008 90009 90002 When threatened, Ostriches run away, but they can cause serious injury and death with kicks from their powerful legs. 90007 [5] 90008 Their legs can only kick forward.90007 [19] 90008 90009 90002 Ostriches reared entirely by humans may not direct their courtship behaviour at other Ostriches, but toward their human keepers. 90007 [20] 90008 Ostriches live 30 to 40 years on average. 90007 [5] 90008 90009 90002 It is sometimes said that ostriches will hide their heads in the ground when they are scared, but this is not true. 90009 90020 Racing [change | change source] 90021 90112 90002 In some countries, people race each other on the back of Ostriches.The practice is common in Africa 90007 [21] 90008 and is relatively unusual elsewhere. 90007 [22] 90008 The Ostriches are ridden in the same way as horses with special saddles, reins, and bits. However, they are harder to manage than horses. 90007 [23] 90008 90009 90121 90122 90123 90002 A male (right) and a female (left). 90009 90126 90122 90128 90126 90122 90131 90126 90133 90134 90122 ↑ 90136 BirdLife International (2016).»90005 Struthio camelus 90006″. 90005 The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 90006.
