‘Camel Bird’ Ostriches return after 100 years in Saudi Arabia
After nearly 100 years, the critically endangered ‘Camel Bird’ ostriches have returned to Saudi Arabia. Reintroduced to the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Royal Reserve, these North African ostriches serve as ecological replacements for the extinct Arabian ostrich. The move is part of the reserve’s long-term ecosystem restoration, supporting biodiversity, desert habitat recovery, and Saudi Arabia’s environmental goals.
