中文注释:在犹他州的大升梯国家纪念区附近的一个农场里,一群鸵鸟正在热烈欢迎来访的摄影师。鸵鸟在美国被作为家畜饲养已经有一个多世纪的历史了,尤其是在美国西部地区,因为那里的气候条件与鸵鸟的产地非洲的热带草原相似。但是饲养这些古怪的鸟需要某些特殊设施,比如额外加高的栅栏,因为鸵鸟可以跳起六英尺(2米)多高。作者: Len Jenshel
鸵鸟 犹他州 美国 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Ostrich Farm, Utah, 1999 A flock of ostriches greets a photographer at a farm near Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah. Ostriches have been raised as livestock in the United States for over a century, particularly in the West, where the climate mimics that of their native African savanna. But these quirky birds require some special accommodations, like extra-tall fences—they can leap more than six feet (two meters) in the air.
