Ostriches are the largest living birds and are known for their long legs and neck, which allow them to run at high speeds. They are also strong and powerful birds, with their legs alone capable of killing a predator. Ostriches are native to Africa and are adapted to living in hot, dry environments. They are also able to go without water for long periods of time. Ostriches are omnivores, which means that they eat both plants and animals. In their natural habitat, they primarily feed on seeds, grasses, and fruit, but they will also occasionally eat insects, lizards, and small mammals.
