Ostrich
Ostriches are large, flightless birds that have long legs and a long neck that protrudes from a round body. Males have bold black-and-white coloring that they use to attract females. Females, on the other hand, are light brown. Ostriches are bigger than any other bird in the world. They can grow up to 9 feet tall and can weigh up to 320 lbs. An ostrich's eyes are 2 inches in diameter, the largest of any land animal. The ostrich can run as fast as 43 mph, the fastest of any bird.
