OSTRICH The flightless ostrich is the world’s largest bird. They roam in the African savanna and desert lands, and get most of their water from the plants they eat. Though they cannot fly, ostriches are strong runners. They can run up to 43 miles (70 kilometers) an hour. They may use their wings as “rudders” to help them change direction, while running. An ostrich’s powerful, long legs can cover 10 to 16 feet (8 to 5 meters) in a single stride. These legs can also be dreadful weapons. Ostrich kicks can kill a human or other carnivorous animals. Each two-toed foot has a long, sharp claw. Ostriches live in small herds that typically contain less than a dozen birds. All the hens of a herd place their eggs in one nest, each one of which weighs as much as two dozen chicken eggs. The hen and the male, both take turns looking after the giant eggs. Contrary to popular belief, ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand. The old saying probably originates due to the bird's defensive behaviour. Copyright©2019.
