    Ostrich

    The flightless ostrich is the world՚s largest bird. They roam in the African savannah 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
    kilometres) 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 (3 to 5
    meters) in a single stride. These legs can also be dreadful weapons. Ostrich kicks can kill
    humans 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
    the 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.

    At the approach of trouble, ostriches will lie low and press their long necks to the ground
    in an attempt to become less visible. Their feathers blend well with sandy soil and, from a
    distance, give the appearance that they have buried their heads in the sand.

    Ostriches typically eat plants, root s, and seeds, but will also eat insects, lizards and other
    creatures available in their sometimes harsh habitat.
