Oudtshoorn, South Africa is home to the biggest population of ostriches in the world, hence its nickname, ‘The Ostrich Capital of the World’.
-
- Fresh ostrich eggs are so tough that one egg can support 250 lbs. without breaking.
-
- Now that would be a party omelet.
-
- We fed pellets to hungry ostriches with a long, finger saving spoon.
-
- Ostrich plumes and hats were all the rage in the 1800’s.
-
- That ostrich looks aggressive, but flapping their wings is just a way to cool off.
-
- Ostriches will eat just about anything.
-
- Ostrich is a healthy red meat with all the hearty flavor of beef. Extremely high in protein, but low in calories and cholesterol. Ostrich meat is even lower in fat grams than skinless chicken!
-
- Ostrich feather sellers in the market have been on this street corner for generations.
-
- We bought some beautiful feathers from this beautiful lady.
-
- Oh yeah? Whatchu lookin’ at?
-
- Brenton-on-Sea in Knysna – a scenic beach hike with crashing waves.
-
- “We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch – we are going back from whence we came.” – John F. Kennedy
-
- Just in case, there is a shark attack kit right on the beach.
-
- That rhino and those ostriches seemed very relaxed, but Mike kept a safe distance.
-
- Riding the range, ready to herd the wildebeest and zebra.
-
- Seeing eye to eye with a giraffe!
-
- Mike next to the Tower of Babel at Cango Caves.
-
- Cango Caves are dripstone limestone caverns in vast halls in Oudtshoorn.
