The current study on gross anatomy of trachea was conducted to report the gross morphological features of the trachea in adult ostrich. The trachea was characterized by a long flexible cartilaginous tube which started from the cricoid cartilage to the syrinx. At the level of syrinx it was bifurcated into right and left primary bronchi. The trachea was comprised of 220-225 individual complete cartilaginous rings without overlapping. The diameter of tracheal rings was equal from cranial to caudal part.
