Ostrich duck (SciiFii)

The ostrich duck (Ratitanas struthio) is a species of duck of the family, Dromanatidae, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the grasslands of New Zealand to help boost biodiversity. The ostrich duck has ostrich-like fluffy feathers and short pointed bill. Despite its name, it is not bigger than the lesser rhea of South America, but it shares a similar omnivorous diet with the ostrich, and it also has large eyes and adaptation to humid and dry, warm environments. The ostrich duck is known to be a solitary animal, but it is usually known to live in flocks of up to 12 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the ostrich duck is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the ostrich duck's wide range.
