Ostriches

People who have an "ostrich" leadership personality tend to be calm and soft-spoken. Having an easygoing personality is a strength; it allows them to get along well with everyone. They also tend to be good listeners and are loyal and trustworthy. However, ostriches tend to avoid conflict and try to please everyone else, and this can make their employees feel that the employees can push them around. If a problem at work arises, an ostrich will often procrastinate, which can make him feel overworked.

Titanis Walleri. This bird is known from the early Pleistocene (Ice Age) of Florida. It is the last known member of the family Phorusrhacidae, a group of large, flightless birds which evolved in South America. This creature had an estimated body height of 3 meters (if it stood fully erect, and 2.5 meters in more normal situations). Titanis really had arms instead of wings.

Ostriches are omnivores; they generally eat whatever happens to be present in their habitat, such as locusts, insects, lizards, plants, and even the occasional mouse. They are often seen with zebras and antelopes; this is not only for added protection, but also because the hooves of these animals stir up the ground and provide numerous insects for the ostrich.

An Ostrich can run up to 45 miles per hour. They are the fastest land bird known.

It is the fastest running bird.

its a flightless bird as its body cannot be kept airborne for long becauase of its weight

The symbiotic relationship of an Ostrich and a gazelle is a mutualism relationship, since both species benefit one another.

Boiling an ostrich egg takes about 45 minutes.

A cheetah is the fastest land animal on earth. An ostrich can run at top speed of about 30 mph. A cheetah can run at top speed of about 70 mph. Answer an Ostrich can run up to 40 miles per hour (MPH).

A cheetah can run up to 70 miles per hour (MPH).

A cheetah is faster.

An ostrich can lay forty to one hundred eggs a year .Normally they lay about sixty. It takes forty two days before the egg can catch. An ostriches egg weighs about 2 pounds.

No birds have four legs. They all have two legs.and if they had four legs they would be like dog with a beak and feathers

Yes, the ostrich digs a hole and sticks it's head into the ground to hide from predators, it leaves the ostrich looking a bit like a tree or a bush to make it harder for predators to recognise them.

The average ostrich egg weighs about 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb). That is over 20 times heavier than a chicken's egg.

Platypus eggs are just a couple of centimetres in size - about the size of a grape. They average 11 mm in diameter. They are small, smooth and leathery, unlike birds' eggs, which are hard-shelled. They weigh just a few grams.

An adult ostrich can run away from a predator very fast. It can also deliver a crippling or fatal kick from its powerful legs - something that may make predators think twice in attacking an adult ostrich.

why, being a philosophical question, can not be answered by science. one could say "because that's how god made it" and another say "so we'll have lots to eat" or yet another "to protect its young". in the right contects each is perfectly correct

zaf

no they eat the balls off the kittens though if that helps you.

Most animals avoid ferns because the mature fronds are poisonous. Humans and most farm animals like cattle, horses, pigs, etc. will get sick if they eat mature fern fronds. White-tailed deer, rabbits, and European wood mice are a few animals that can eat ferns. They usually eat the soft new shoots (called "fiddleheads") that aren't poisonous yet. Humans also eat fern fiddleheads in some parts of the world, usually after cooking them.

One ostrich egg is equivalent to the weight of how many chichken eggs?

an ostrich can run up to 40 miles per hour (65 kilometers per our

Answering "What is the maximum speed on land of an ostrich? Ostriches have been recorded at speed of 45mph (72km/h) in a short burst. That is faster than a race horse, which has been recorded doing 43mph 69km/h over one fourth of a mile (402meters). Their foot strides are between 5-7m (16-23ft) at full speed and they can keep running for around 20 min at 30mph (48km/h). This is becomes they are birds, and unlike humans and other mammals, they can use 100% of their lung capacity, thus obtaining more oxygen. There is video footage of two lionesses chasing and catching an ostrich. Normally only cheetah are fast enough to catch them. However, this is not very common because ostriches are very fast and they can keep running for a long time. They have two large toes that give them good grip when run. And they can also change direction quickly at full speed. They can also use their sharp toes to kick predators. A cheetah has been filmed chasing ostriches, but the ostriches changed direction very quickly, making it very difficult for the cheetah to catch them. An adult ostrich weighs around 150kg (330Ib) and normally lives around 50 years. written by JPBiggs 27.06.08

Ostriches DO NOT bury their heads in the sand. This is a myth. From a distance it may have since the Colonial era have looked like that's what they are doing, when the males of the species are digging and then lying down and apparently disappearing, but in fact the male is disguising his white feathers with sand and lying down to protect the eggs, which is his job. Still, it's in the vernacular now …

A South American bird similar to ostrich is the rhea. The rhea is a flightless bird that belongs to the Rheidae family. It is found in countries that include Argentina, Bolivia, and Brazil.
