Struthio anderssoni, also known as the East Asian ostrich, is an extinct species of ostrich that lived in the Pleistocene and Holocene in China and Mongolia. The youngest dates obtained by mass spectrometry analysis of eggshell fragments reveal that the species survived until at least 8.9 ka BP.[2]
