--- Super Speedy Ostriches! 🦩 Did you know that ostriches are the **fastest running birds in the world**? These amazing birds can run as fast as **45 miles per hour (72 km/h)**—that’s faster than a car driving through town! Ostriches have **super strong legs** and special **spring-like tendons** that help them run long distances without getting tired. Each time they take a step, their legs store energy and push them forward, just like bouncing on a spring! One stride can be as long as **16 feet

Ostrich (Struthio camelus) is the world's largest flightless bird and fastest animal on two legs, in fact they can reach speeds of over 70 kph!
