No matter African ostriches, American ostriches or Australian ostriches, they generally don't live in forests, but prefer to live in groups in deserts or grasslands, especially African ostriches, who mostly live in grasslands in the Sahara desert, as well as plains, valleys and low shrubs. How vast these places are, and there are few tall trees, which means there is no shelter. Because there is no bunker, ostriches are easy to be found and tracked by the enemy. If they want to avoid being chased, they must run much faster than the enemy. Another reason is that there is almost no water in boundless deserts and grasslands. In order to find food and water, ostriches also need to run fast.
In the long run, the ostrich gradually grows a pair of strong legs and strong feet, and there is a thick meat pad under the big toe, which is very suitable for running on the hot sand. No matter how hot the sand is by the sun, it will not burn the ostrich's feet. With this meat pad, ostriches can find something to eat at will in the desert.
Some people say that ostriches are excellent "walkers" and also excellent. "Long-distance runner", some people even say that it is "a bird that is good at walking and running".
With its powerful legs, the ostrich not only runs fast, but also helps it defeat the enemy with its legs as a weapon. In most cases, ostriches use these legs to deal with their enemies. As long as it kicks hard, it can kick a hunting dog out for a long time and can't get up for a long time.
Ostrich lives in the open Yuan Ye and desert, with an average height of about 250 cm. It is the tallest bird in the world and the only two-toed bird. The ostrich can run at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour. If they are in trouble, they will use their claws as weapons. During the breeding season, male ostriches often occupy territory by flaunting their wings and shaking their necks. Only males who can defend their territory can mate with females. Ostrich eggs can reach 20 cm, which is the largest among birds.
