An extant ratite refers to any living member of the ratite group, which includes large, Flightless Birds characterized by their flat breastbones and absence of a keel for wing muscles. Examples of extant ratites include ostriches, emus, kiwis, cassowaries, and rheas. These birds are primarily found in the Southern Hemisphere and are known for their unique adaptations to terrestrial life. Ratites are believed to have evolved from a common ancestor that lived millions of years ago.
