At sexual maturity ( two to four years ), male Ostriches can be from in height, while female Ostriches range from tall.

Ostriches can tolerate a wide range of temperatures.

Unlike the widely known flightless Palaeognathae, Ratites such as Ostriches and Emus, Tinamous can fly, although in general they are not strong fliers.

Ostriches share the order Struthioniformes with the kiwis, emus, rheas, and cassowaries.

The diet of Ostriches mainly consists of plant matter, though it also eats invertebrates.

Ostriches usually weigh from, Ostriches of the East African race ( S. c. massaicus ) averaged in males and in females, while the nominate subspecies was found to average in unsexed adults.

Exceptional male Ostriches ( in the nominate subspecies ) have been weighing up to.

At one year of age, Ostriches weigh around.

The head and neck of both male and female Ostriches is nearly bare, with a thin layer of down.

Mitochondrial DNA haplotype comparisons suggest that it diverged from the other Ostriches not quite four mya due to formation of the East African Rift.

There were 19th century reports of the existence of small Ostriches in North Africa ; these are referred to as Levaillant's Ostrich ( Struthio bidactylus ) but remain a hypothetical form not supported by material evidence.

Apart from this enigmatic bird, the fossil record of the Ostriches continues with several species of the modern genus Struthio which are known from the Early Miocene onwards.

While the relationship of the African species is comparatively straightforward, a large number of Asian species of Ostrich have been described from fragmentary remains, and their interrelationships and how they relate to the African Ostriches is confusing.

In China, Ostriches are known to have become extinct only around or even after the end of the last ice age ; images of Ostriches have been found there on prehistoric pottery and petroglyphs.

This star, along with η Cet ( Deneb Algenubi ), θ Cet ( Thanih Al Naamat ), ζ Cet ( Baten Kaitos ), and υ Cet, were Al Naʽāmāt ( ألنعامة ), the Hen Ostriches.

Ostriches, however, were already well known in Biblical times.

Another enclosure will house Grévy's Zebras along with Grey Crowned Cranes Ostriches, Marabou Stork, and other birds.

No bottle pool is tolerated -- bottle pool being our lingo for those who come to swim and sink into our bar while protesting that they can only dunk and run.

But anybody who promises a substantial volume of business can get a railroad to run a short spur to his plant these days, and many businesses can live without the railroad.

From all this we can now see that two streams of development run through the history of twentieth-century American folklore.

And yet this is exactly the risk we run when we assume, as we too often do, that we can continue to preach the gospel in a form that makes it seem incredible and irrelevant to cultured men.

* Worst-case execution time – determines the longest time that a piece of software can take to run

If needed, an applet can leave the dedicated area and run as a separate window.

Arrays are useful mostly because the element indices can be computed at run time.

For example, if for a given problem size a parallelized implementation of an algorithm can run 12 % of the algorithm's operations arbitrarily quickly ( while the remaining 88 % of the operations are not parallelizable ), Amdahl's law states that the maximum speedup of the parallelized version is times as fast as the non-parallelized implementation.

While the inning is still being played, this last scenario can cause a temporary situation where a run has already scored, but its earned / unearned status is not yet certain.

The rule works this way because a smart fielder can theoretically purposely bobble the ball and run with it at the same time towards the infield and only completely catch it when he is within a good throwing distance to home plate.

We can run the algorithm a constant number of times and take a majority vote to achieve any desired probability of correctness less than 1, using the Chernoff bound.

Even this distinction is not completely clear-cut — for example, humans normally walk and run in biped fashion, but almost all can crawl on hands and knees when necessary.

MS-DOS and Win16 subsystems ( only on i386 ) can run some applications for those platforms, and it has an OS / 2 subsystem for running CLI OS / 2 applications.

This usually consists of three new comic strips being run for a number of weeks and the readers can vote on which strips they prefer and the one that receives the most votes stays in the Beano.

Few economists believe that GDP and employment can be dragged down by an over-large deficit over the long run.

In effect, integer size sets a hardware limit on the range of integers the software run by the CPU can utilize.

It is argued that an independent central bank can run a more credible monetary policy, making market expectations more responsive to signals from the central bank.

If the compiled program can run on a computer whose CPU or operating system is different from the one on which the compiler runs, the compiler is known as a cross-compiler.

Most chemical reactions are reversible, that is they can and do run in both directions.

However, the classification as a metro or rapid rail can be difficult as both may typically cover a metropolitan area exclusively, run on separate tracks in the centre, and often feature purpose-built rolling stock.

Loco hauled services are usually run in push-pull formation, that is, the train can run with the locomotive at the " front " or " rear " of the train ( pushing or pulling ).

* Rover ball: A ball that has run all 12 hoops and can be pegged out.

Distributions will often contain installation scripts ( usually called Makefile. PL or Build. PL ) and test scripts which can be run to verify the contents of the distribution are functioning properly.
