As we all know, this is the largest bird in the world. Adult birds can reach 2.5 meters in height and male ostriches can weigh up to 300 Jin. Although it is a bird, the ostrich can't fly, but it can only run on the ground. Perhaps to make up for its regret that it can't fly, nature gave it a flying speed. The ostrich's running ability is amazing. It can jump 2.5 meters into the air and sprint at a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour. Because of this, there is a place to hold ostrich riding competitions. In addition to running fast, ostriches' powerful feet are also their main defensive weapons. Lions and cheetahs are the main natural enemies of adult ostriches. Because of their fast speed and excellent endurance, many predators are exhausted before catching ostriches.
However, sometimes ostriches are cornered. At this time, ostriches will kick predators with their legs. With strong thighs and the inertia of jumping forward, an ostrich can sometimes even kill a strong lion with one foot, which is awesome. We all know that ostriches are native to Africa, while ostriches in China are artificially bred. The economic value of ostrich is very high. As large birds, they grow very fast in the early days. 12- 14-month-old African black ostrich can weigh about 100 kg. Ostrich meat is a kind of red muscle, which is similar to beef in appearance and has the characteristics of high protein, low fat, low cholesterol and low calorie. Its tender muscles and delicious taste are welcomed by many people. Ostrich hair is velvet feather, which is soft, comfortable, beautiful, easy to dye and feels warm and soft. They are widely used in high-standard display cabinet decoration and celebration ceremony.
Moreover, their feathers have another feature, that is, they do not generate static electricity, and they can be made into feather dusters, which can be used for dust removal of household and precision instruments. Some beautiful white wings are even as high as 2000 dollars per kilogram in the market. If you accidentally irritate the ostrich, don't try to escape, because you can't escape it at all. If you have enough time, you can hide in the surrounding bushes and climb to the top of the mountain. The most effective way is to wave clothes to distract it, then lock its neck in time and cover its head with a coat. If there is not enough time, just lie down and wave the white flag, and then let fate take its course!
