Different with domesticated animals, and even plants. Domestication is a very effective evolutionary strategy. How many wild Aurochs are roaming the fields of Europe?
We only saw the wild Struthis in the dark, but I reckon the female had spots which we don't see on this one, so I suspect these are a long domesticated strain. The domesticated chicken has been evolved for continuous egg production, no reason why the domesticates Struthi shouldn't be the same, whereas the wild ones do have a nesting season: http://www.alicegrove.com/post/113972900304/never-mind-the-giant-smoke-creature-outside-its
BenRG:
Humans can ride ostriches and the Struthis are much bigger. Anyone remember a 1980s-era arcade game called 'Joust'? I'm thinking of a future scene where an armourd Alice is charging into battle against the baddie of the chapter on the back of a riding Struthi.
Interesting thought: If this is a domesticated strain, then are there many subvariants? Maybe a breed that has thick winter plumage that it sheds in spring and can be used for clothing, insulation and padding? A specific meat strain? A strain known for laying large numbers of non-viable eggs (again, for food)?
JimC:
The moon it was then, so much for my orbit theory...
TinPenguin:
Sedna is not responsible for any moon craters, but only 'cause she never found a big enough gun.
BenRG:
It takes guts to go back to something so utterly traumatic like that. It's a credit to Gavia's strength that she knows that she has to for the greater good of her friends and everything she cares about. I'm not surprised that there wasn't any 'leak back' from the Night Walker into her mind though. I'm sure it was totally non-sentient and just mindlessly carrying out a pre-loaded instruction set. Simply put, there were no thoughts about which she could be aware.
Why am I not surprised that Alice is responsible for a crater on the Moon? Maybe she's responsible for the new lava plain maria/impact basin? It would be excessive but so her.
