Ratites, particularly the ostrich (Struthio camelus) and emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae), have become popular as livestock enterprises. Veterinarians serving zoos and in private practice need to know the anatomy of these unique flightless birds. This paper provides a single source of information based on the author's dissections of the ostrich, emu, and rhea (Rhea americana), selected data accumulated from museum specimens, and additional information extracted from the literature. The muscoskeletal, digestive, and reproductive systems are emphasized because of their importance in clinical medicine and management of these animals. All ratities have heavily muscled legs for running and defese against enemies. Unique characteristics are a noncarinate sternum and lack of breast muscles. Stomach and intestinal morphology is highly variable among the families represented. All male ratites have an intromitten organ (phallus), and ostrich and emu females have a diminutive organ. |
