About the Ostrich

Even though they’re flight-less birds, Ostriches have a large wing span that can reach between 6-7 feet. And since they can’t fly, it helps that Ostriches are fast runners. With their long legs, they have been known to cover more than 10 feet in a single stride. Ostriches have several natural predators, including cheetahs, lions, leopards, hunting dogs and spotted hyenas.
