Let’s take a closer look at their appearance
Ostriches have many neat things about their appearance. Did you know an ostrich only has two toes? An ostrich has a secret weapon on each side of their foot, which is a claw. Since I learned this I also learned that this helps the ostrich run fast and do sharp turns. An ostrich can run about forty-five miles per hour, and cover ten to sixteen feet. Also when I did my researching I also learned that an ostriches wing and torso are another one of an ostrich’s distinct characteristics. I also learned that an ostriches feathers are soft and fluffy. Also a cool fact I learned was that an ostrich's eyes are the biggest of any other animal on land. Their eyes measure two inches across and their eyelashes are long and luscious. Also an ostrich’s eyes are five times greater than a human's. When I learned this I also learned that the size of an ostrich’s brain is the size of it’s eyes.The thing that birds have that mammals don’t are their wings, and that they lay eggs. Another interesting fact is that an ostrich can run fifty miles per hour for short periods of time. As you can see, an ostrich is an amazing bird.
