No, ostrich do not have teeth. There is a photoshopped picture on the web that shows a closeup of an ostrich with a beakful of teeth, but it is not a real photo. The teeth appear to be those of a canine. So if it has a beak there no teeth.
What are ostriches and gazelles are they mutualism commensalism or parasitism?
Mutualism. Both beneifit from the protection
Yes the fox is an omnivore, it eats insects, earthworms,fruit, berries, wild birds, small mammals and scraps left by humans
What conditions do camels live in?
The Arabian camel (single-humped camel) lives in the dry West Asian deserts.
The Bactiran camel (double-humped camel) lives in the harsher Central Asian and Eastern Asian deserts.
90% of the camel population has been domesticated by humans.
Camels were imported to Australia to assist with colonisation by helping humans transport goods over the vast Australian deserts and plains. Because horses struggled in the Australian desert climate. When roads and motorised transport were eventually established in Australia, the camels were released into the Australian wild.
Australian camels are one of the rare examples of wild camels left in the wild, since most herds have been domesticated.
In the 19th century camels were imported to the United States to assist in the US-Mexico war by transporting goods across the harsh American-Mexican deserts, because horses suffered in these environments. Camels were very unpopular with the Americans because they were not used to riding them. The Mexicans also made jokes about Americans with camels, because the Mexicans didn't really understand the camels usefulness compared to horses. Many camels escaped and roamed the American-Mexican deserts.
a Camel lives in a desert habitat.
What is the camel spiders species?
The camel spiders usually live in any desert-like climate. The largest camel spiders live in the middle east but many other species live in othe places. The smallest camel spiders live in California. because of their shape, size, speed, and nocturnal nature, they can be very hard to spot and so many other species potentially exist.
if you find what you think is a camel spider in a place that you feel is not described above, contact a wildlife biologist via the web or any other scource available.
The average top speed of the Australian Emu is 50km an hour, or 31 mph, but it is believed that they have actually been clocked at 75kph. Average cruising speed is around 45 kph.
Emus can also swim quite comfortably.
Pssh well, if an Ostrich eats yogurt and is a herbivore then you have one weird ostrich. But on the other hand ostriches could be described as egg laying birds with no blood coursing through their veins at all
How much does maintaining a horse cost yearly or monthly?
It depends upon many variable factors. Is your horse pastured, in a paddock or a stall? How will it be fed.... individually or in a herd?
To figure out a rough estimate, make a list of the bagged feed(s) the horse is currently being fed. Add any supplements, baled feed (alfalfa, etc) and any other products consumed by the horse on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Multiply the monthly consumption by 12 (months) for a rough figure of annual consumption. Are you keeping the horse in a barn where horses are fed by a groom? If so, you'll be charged a monthly boarding fee.
Depending upon the climate where the horse is kept, it may drink a great deal of water. If you pay a water bill, it will go up with a horse consuming it's share.
Does the horse wear shoes? Are the hooves healthy..... or does the horse need special hoof care or shoes? To your list, add a farrier's bill every 4-6 weeks. Does your horse need shoes? How will it be ridden? Ask your trainer, farrier or vet for their advice. Every horse is different when it comes to their hooves.
Shots and wormings can be twice each year, plus any calls to have the vet check your horse for illness, injuries and other emergencies (horses are truly helpless!).
How do you ride/drive? Do you have a trainer. If so, ask for a fee schedule. Decide with your trainer what is best for you and your horse, in order to achieve your goals with your horse.
Do you need tack and/or equipment? These are often one-time costs, but the list of necessary items seems to grow every week! Before you buy, check with your trainer (assuming you have one) or a knowledgable equestrian friend. Tack and equipment can often be purchased second-hand. Some things are better that way..... they've been "broken in" for you! Be sure you know what size you need for your particular horse..... before you buy! Many stores won't allow returns on equipment full of sweaty horse hair and dirt. ( I usually lay an old bedsheet over my horse's back if I'm trying to fit a saddle. It allows close contact while keeping the equipment clean.)
Do you need a trailer, a hitch and truck? Or does your trainer offer trailering for a fee?
Will you be able to exercise your horse regularly, or will you need to hire someone to keep your horse fit and alert?
And here's the big one.... who will muck the stall of paddock on a daily basis? It needs to be done, and if you can't, someone needs to be hired to keep up with the task. That's a labor cost, usually by the hour, the day, the month or per job. That's up to you, unless you're in a barn where it's provided and you are charged a monthly fee for the service.
I've ridden and owned horses for over 50 years. They're wonderful! My best advice on trying to figure what your annual cost will be, is to figure it, then double that figure..... and hope you've covered everything! Good luck!

What country does an ostrich live in?
Ostriches are native to Africa, and used to live in the Middle East until they became extinct in the mid 20th century due to excessive hunting. In the wild, ostriches live in savannas. A savanna is just a grassland ecosystem that has a limited amount of trees and shrubs. Ostriches also live in heaps of other countries worldwide, in zoos and on farms. Due to their unique appearance ostriches are a popular attraction in zoos across the world. They are also farmed for their tasty meat, eggs and their very popular feathers. Ostriches can live in both very cold and fairly warm climates and are found in countries like Sweden, Finland and Australia in zoos and on farms. So now you know where ostriches live, let's look at seven cool facts about ostriches.
Why do camels have 1 or 2 humps?
A camel's (not cammal, by the way) hump is a giant mound of fat, actually. In a healthy, well-fed camel, the hump can weigh as much as 80 pounds! Human beings and most animals store their fat mixed in with muscle tissue or in a layer right beneath the skin. Camels are the only animals with a hump. The hump allows a camel to survive an extremely long time (up to two weeks) without food if need be. Because camels typically live in the desert, where food can be scarce for long stretches, this is important.
Is the ostrich the largest bird in the world?
Yes. Ostriches are about 8 feet tall and weigh up to 300 pounds. Just the egg alone is equal to the weight of 24 chickens!
Why do ostriches have feathers?
Ostriches do not have furry coats, they are birds and have feathers to protect their body from the elements.
It is actually reindeer, and being northern animals, they have to scrounge for food. Reindeer eat a variety of mosses and lichens, as well as nibbling leaves and bark off of trees. This keeps them alive during the cold winter months.
Can camels gallop as fast as horses?
Yes, but some people might recognise it as it running fast, because it does not look like it is galloping, but a camel is related to a horse and when a horse runs it is galloping. so camels can gallop
How do you take care of ostrich babies?
an ostrich female takes care of them how..... because there dad goes and huts for food for the young ones
Can a deer and a goat reproduce?
Nothing. The DNA is different enough between these species that no hybrid animal will be formed.
Mythically, ostriches stick there heads in the sand when they feel they are in danger. So to behave like an ostrich is to ignore a problem in the hope that it will go away.
