Description
Hatching ostrich egg. Image 1 of 8. Hands holding a hatching ostrich egg (Struthio camelus). The ostrich lays around 20 eggs, which may reach up to 15 centimetres in length. The eggs take around 40 days to hatch. The chicks are mobile as soon as they hatch, and join the adults feeding mainly on plants. Ostriches are found in arid areas of central and southern Africa. For a sequence of this egg hatching, see images Z804/005-012.
