An ostrich is the largest living bird on Earth, known for its distinctive appearance and unique characteristics. Native to the African continent, particularly the savannas and deserts, the ostrich belongs to the Struthio genus. It stands tall with a long neck and legs, and it possesses powerful thighs that allow it to run at impressive speeds, reaching up to 70 kilometers per hour (43 miles per hour). The ostrich has large, strong feet with only two toes, equipped with sharp claws for self-defense. Its wings, although not suitable for flight, serve as balancing tools during fast running. The male ostrich boasts striking black and white plumage, while the female has a more subdued brown coloring. Ostriches are herbivorous, primarily feeding on plants, seeds, and occasionally insects.
