Ostriches

about the size of an American football

10 inches

Edited by H. Neeser. Somebody has a shrunken ruler. I have had many Ostrich eggs, and never saw one bigger than 6" X 5". From wikipedia, "on average they are 15 centimetres (5.9 in) long, 13 centimetres (5.1 in) wide, and weigh 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb), over 20 times the weight of a chicken egg. They are glossy".

they are seven to eight feet tall. And there necks can be up to 4 feet tall or more

Some llamas don't like having people mess with their legs. They kick to show that. If they are getting annoyed they will kick at you. After that they might start spitting at you. Remember you are causing they problem. Stop messing with their legs! If you stop emssing with them, thewy won't spit or kick at you.

Both the Greater Roadrunner (famous from the looney tunes cartons) and Ostrich are fast birds on land. The Greater Roadrunner can run at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour (32 km/h) which is fast for its size (56 centimeters 22 in long). The Ostrich on the other hand can run at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) and is 1.8 to 2.75 meters (6 to 9 ft) above the ground which is considerably bigger than the Roadrunner. The Ostrich is also the fastest running bird.

Humans do, actually we eat their eggs and their meat. But since the Ostrichs live in the Savanah, the only thing that would probably eat them is a cheetah or lion, or some sort of cat that lives out there. They can atleast outrun the ostrich.

Recent theories now believe it may have been a scavenger, because of its weight, might not could have been quick enough to catch its prey, also, the teeth are for bone crushing, like a scavenger. Its sense of smell was acute, similar to modern vultures. So T Rex may not have been a great hunter, but like the hyena, might have done a little of both. The reasons to believe they were predators and scavengers are pretty obvious: 1. First thing is proof. A skeleton of a large plant eating dinosaur called Edmontosaurus was discovered and was missing one of its vertebrae. The vertebrae had a tooth mark in it that matched exactly that of T-Rex's tooth. Also the vertebrae showed evidence of healing , which tells us that the Edmontosaurus had escaped, and that the T-Rex had attacked it in an attempt to bring it down. 2. It's arms however were useless. A predator needs its front limbs for grabbing its prey. T. rex could not do that. However many paleontologists think the reason the arms of Tyrannosaurs got smaller and smaller while the head got bigger and bigger, was so that it could evolve a powerful jaw which was its main weapon in killing prey. 3. It weighed 6-7 tons. If it fell over, it would die, because it couldn't push itself up again (due to its useless arms and its crushing mass). It was probably an ambush predator however and did not chase prey once it had been spotted. 4. It was slow. Because of its size and the proportion of its leg bones (the bones in its leg are roughly the same size, like a human's, making it a pretty slow runner, unlike, say, an ostrich, which has long lower leg bones, a characteristic common to all fast runners), it couldn't get up to speed, so probably couldn't run down prey, but could ambush large slow moving prey. 5. No animal is going to pass up a free meal, so just about any meat eating animal probably scavenged. This does not make it 100 percent scavenger. An animal as big as T-Rex could not survive on scavenging alone. If it did it would pretty much have to depend on other carnivores to make kills, and an animal this big need to eat a lot. It isn't guaranteed that other carnivores will have made a kill every time a T-Rex needed to eat, therefore T-Rex would have to find prey of its own. 6. It's teeth and head muscles are unparalleled by other dinosaurs. The amount of force that a T. rex could exert with its jaw muscles was extraordinary, perfect for crushing bones and consuming all parts of a dead animal. Such musculature could be found in predators as well, so obviously T-Rex had evolved a different method of killing prey rather than having a slashing bite like most big carnivores. All that being as it may, science is a search for facts, not truth. New evidence may show up that totally refutes the argument for T. rex being a scavenger, or the facts may be interpreted differently by different people. Science is always changing, always looking to disprove itself. The evidence is strong that T. rex was, in fact, a predator, as well as a scavenger, but the "truth" of the matter is that we will never know for sure.

Ostrich are omnivores and they eat seeds, grains, fruits, shoots, leaves and flowers.

They also eat large insects like locusts

Nah they do it for the meat and the bladders. Ostrich bladders are worth a lot of money. Plus cults and voodoo men buy ostrich hearts/livers/ovaries/intestines for rituals in some countries.

An ostrich has two legs and two wings because it is a bird.

No. An emu does not stick its head in the sand. Nor, for that matter, does an ostrich.

It kind of looks like a cell, with the yolk as a nucleus, but eggs, including ostrich eggs, are just growth chambers for the tiny embryo within. The embryo, being a living thing, is comprised of cells, but not the yolk which feeds the embryo or the white which cushions and hydrates the embryo. As the embryo grows the cells divide so the embryo contains more and more cells. The embryo uses the supplies inside the egg to create new cells as it grows into a chick.

Besides the obvious- the HUGE difference in size- hummingbirds fly. Ostriches do not. They have a very different diet. Hummingbirds migrate each year, ostriches do not.

The Ostrich is the fastest living animal on two feet. It can reach speeds of up to 60km/h

98 degrees Fahrenheit

Ostriches do not fly because their wings are too small for their size, they can weigh as much as 400 pounds. They compensate by being the fastest land bird, they can achieve speeds of 40 mph.
An ostrich cannot fly because it is simply too big. The wings of an ostrich are not strong enough to be able to lift them off the ground. Even if they were to get off the ground, the wings are too weak to let them actually fly.

Emus live all over Australia and although they are classed as birds, they are one of the very few birds that can't actually fly at all. They are members of a group of birds called ratites. Other ratites include the Southern cassowary of Australia and New Guinea, the kiwi from New Zealand, the ostrich from Africa and the rhea from South America.

Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly. Although the emu does not actually weigh as much as it appears (30-45kg), its wings are also too small by comparison to lift it.

The female cassowary lays between 3 and 8 eggs in a nest on the ground which is lined with leaves, twigs, sticks, bark, etc. She does not incubate the eggs.

The male cassowary raises the chicks and females are known to kill the chicks if given the opportunity.

Chicks stay with the male for around nine months, but it is several years before they reach reproductive age. A cassowary's lifespan can exceed 30 years in captivity.

One is a very large bird with sharp claws, that is the longest flying bird alive today. It eats things such as rodents, lizards, insects and it has a reputation for killing snakes fairly effortlessly and is revered as sacred in many cultures. Their feathers are kept by various indigenous cultures, and they are very territorial birds.

The other is an eagle.

(Also, peacocks can fly/glide short distances, the only thing keeping them from soaring as high as eagles is the fact that they are gamebirds/fowl, which are quite stocky and heavy for birds.)

Ostrich The egg is about 8 in tall and weighs 3 lb

Hare. A hare is much like a large rabbit. The rest are fouls (edible birds)

Ostriches are a big bird species. The body is covered in skin and in large feathers. The texture ranges depending on the placement of the feather.

baby ostriches are born in a shallow hole which their father made in the sand and he sits on the eggs.The mother ostrich lays her eggs in front of the father ostrich then he pushes them under his warm body. He sits on the eggs from late afternoon untill early the next morning the mother sits on the eggs the rest of the day. When the eggs are hatched the parents take turns to look after their young.
