Why have ostriches evolved to the point of losing their ability to fly?

∙ 11y ago
There was selective pressure on the ability to outrun, versus outfly, predators. Ostriches cannot fly, but they can run very fast, up to 60 mph in a sprint. Also, their legs are very powerful and they have razor-sharp talons on the end of their toes that they can use to eviscerate an attacking predator.
