Ostriches have many adaptations such as:
- Long Legs - these are very powerful and enable the ostrich to run very fast from predators (45 mph).
- Flexible Knees - Also help maintain speed for an ostrich so it can outstrip many enemies.
- Supple two-toed feet - Again help with speed and agility as well as being easier to walk on different landscapes.
- Eyes - these are almost on the side of the ostriches head, enabling them to view almost 360 degrees around them to help protect them from danger.
- Eggs - Ostrich eggs are extremely enduring and strong, a fully grown male can stand on an ostrich egg and not break it.
- Large Extremities - these include large (larger than normal at least) eyes which enable to see for a long time as well as release as much body heat as possible in hot climates.
