    Ostrich racing is a sport where people race each other on the backs of ostriches, which can reach speeds of 60km/h. It first emerged in Florida in the late 1800s when locals and tourists could ride ostriches on farms. While riding ostriches is more difficult than horses due to their large size and speed, ostrich racing grew popular in parts of Africa and the United States. Ostriches are the largest birds in the world, standing up to 3 meters tall and weighing over 150kg.
