The Arabian ostrich or Syrian ostrich (Struthio camelus syriacus) is an extinct subspecies of the ostrich that lived on the Arabian Peninsula and in the Near East until the mid-20th century. 6 32
Ostrich eggshells are found in the area, and a reintroduction experiment of the ostrich was recently undertaken using the closest living relative of the native species. Our newly introduced ostriches at Ukuwela are South African Ostrich (Struthio camelus australis), one of four sub-species of the common ostrich (Struthio camelus).They are also commonly known as the black-necked ostrich, Cape ostrich or southern ostrich. startxref

The North African ostrich was the most widespread subspecies of ostrich. Following analyses of mtDNA control region haplotypes that confirmed the close relationship of the Arabian and the North African subspecies, a reintroduction project using S. c. camelus was set up in Saudi Arabia.

The Arabian Ostrich has long had a significant place in the culture of the region and it is known that the species already occurred in the Middle East thousands of years ago. Following analyses of mtDNA control region haplotypes that confirmed the close relationship of the Arabian and the North African subspecies, a reintroduction project using S. c. camelus was set up in Saudi Arabia.

Report to members of the European Endangered Species Programme for scimitar-horned oryx. The North African ostrich is critically endangered and without urgent conservation action may soon follow its cousin the Arabian ostrich into extinction. If he is doomed to extinction he will die out for want of simplicity.”—Ezra Pound (18851972). More areas are expected to be protected in the future. ‘Uruq Bani Ma’arid could also welcome red-necked ostriches since egg-shells of the extinct Syrian ostrich can still be found in the area.
