Ostrich Hunting

The ostrich (Struthio camelus) is the largest living bird, native to Africa. It can reach heights of up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) and weigh between 220 to 350 pounds (100 to 160 kg). Flightless, ostriches are exceptional runners, capable of speeds up to 45 miles per hour (72 km/h). They have long legs, two toes on each foot, and excellent eyesight for spotting predators. Ostriches are social, omnivorous animals and are farmed for their feathers, meat, and leather.
