ABOUT THE OSTRICH:
- Ostriches are the tallest birds on Earth – they can be as tall as a school bus! That's right, you could almost high five one if it were friendly!
- Ostriches can't fly, but they are the FASTEST runners! They can zoom around at speeds of 45 miles per hour, which is faster than most cars on a city street!
- Ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand! That's a myth. They might rest their head on the ground, but they're always on the lookout for yummy food.
- Ostriches are part of a cool club called the ratites. All the birds in this group, like emus and rheas, can't fly either, but they are all super good runners!
- Ostriches lay the BIGGEST eggs of any bird! An ostrich egg is so big, it would take about 25 chicken eggs to equal its weight!
- Their eyes are bigger than any land animal's – perfect for spotting danger on the vast African savanna, their grassy home!
