Description
Standing 7 to 9 feet (2.1 to 2.7 meters) tall and weighing 220 to 350 lbs (100 to 160 kg), Ostrich are huge animals. Their powerful legs allow them to run up to 43 miles an hour (70 kph) and cover 10 to 16 feet (3 to 5 meters) in a single stride. They have wings and feathers but lost the ability to fly eons ago. Not the kind of statistics one usually associates with birds� But on the plains, savanna and woodlands of Africa, life is defined and ruled by a completely different and wild set of rules.
