Ostrich is a huntable animal from The African Royals. Its carcass yields 400 Food, making it a finite natural resource for Villagers on maps where the herd appears.

Huntable Food source

Settlers hunt Ostrich and gather from the carcass. The recorded profile lists 20 hit points, speed 2.0, line of sight 18 and up to eight gatherers per animal. Where African civilization rules provide a Granary, that building can lure nearby huntables and improve nearby Villagers’ Food gathering; it does not increase an Ostrich carcass’s 400 Food.

Recorded values and Granary interaction

Check that the map actually contains Ostriches before planning around the herd. If a Granary is available, compare its placement with the animal locations so workers can gather efficiently, while keeping the area defensible. Spread workers across separate carcasses rather than crowding one past its eight-gatherer limit, and scout replacement Food before the herd is depleted.
