About Ostriches
Ostriches live in the dry parts of Africa, including the Sahara desert and South Africa. Like people, ostriches are omnivorous, eating both vegetation and small animals. Their natural enemies include hyenas and lions, which prey mostly on young birds. They are the largest bird alive today — males grow up to 8 feet (2.5 m) tall and weigh up to 350 pounds (160 Kg). They are the second-fastest land animal (after the cheetah), and can deliver a punch worthy of George Foreman in his prime!
