Ostrich

The enormous, flightless Ostrich can be found exclusively in Africa. The adult male ostrich, which is the largest living bird in Africa, may grow to a height of 2.75 meters and a weight of more than 150 kilograms. The female is somewhat smaller. While females are primarily brown in color, males are primarily black in color with white plumes on their wings and tails. Depending on the season, ostriches can be spotted alone, in couples, in small flocks, or in massive gatherings. Ostriches, one of the adaptable Sahara Desert species, can run at a speed of 40 mph, which puts them among the world's fastest land animals. This speed is comparable to that of gazelles.


The species is capable of traveling long ways that help them to spot and avoid predators. They typically defend themselves by kicking their longs when attacked. They adore eating seeds, roots, and leaves. They are farmed worldwide, particularly for their feathers as they are used as decoration and feather dusters. Their skin is also used for leather products.
