What are the characteristics of ostriches, what are the introduction and characteristics of ostriche

The body is bulky and cannot fly, which is the most significant feature!!

It's very benzene, and it's too fat.

The introduction and characteristics of the ostrich are as follows.

1. Introduction to ostriches.

The ostrich is one of the largest birds in the world, with adults up to meters tall and males weighing up to 150 kilograms. The snake-like neck supports a small head with a short, flat triangle of sheaths.

of the mouth. The keel process is underdeveloped, unable to fly, and is the only two-toed bird in the world, with dangerous toenails about 7 cm long on each big toe of its feet, and its hind limbs are thick and powerful, suitable for running.

Living in the desert grasslands and savanna areas of Africa, it is widely domesticated in many countries because of its high economic value of plumage, skin and meat, fast growth, strong fecundity, easy feeding and strong disease resistance.

Second, the characteristics of ostriches.

The ostrich is characterized by its large species of bird, with a slender neck, a small head, a short, flattened, triangular beak made up of several sheaths, the upper beak stained yellow, the lower beak slightly pink, brown eyes, large eyes, a stubby torso, and a sternum.

Flattened, without keel protrusions, the hind limbs are thick and powerful, ideal for running, and the body feathers of male birds are mainly black, and the body feathers of female birds are grayish-brown.

Ostriches are omnivorous birds that feed on young leaves, leaves, and grasses. Ostriches have 2 stomachs, but no bursal sacs, and have the digestive properties of both birds and ruminants. Due to the fermentation of its digestive tract, it can obtain nutrients from feeds with high crude fiber content such as grass better than other poultry, and can maximize the digestion and absorption of nutrients in food.

Ostriches do not have a gallbladder, but it does not affect the digestion of fat by adult ostriches, and this digestive characteristic should be paid attention to when preparing ostrich feed, so as not to obese adult ostriches.

Further information: Ostriches are adapted to arid climates, are exceptionally heat-tolerant, and can forage for food in the scorching heat of the day, even in temperatures as high as 56, and can go months without water. The most frequent time for activities is in the early morning and dusk, and they like to be in groups. Ostriches eat a very mixed diet, mainly on the stems, leaves, and fruits of plants, but also eat insects, mollusks, small reptiles, birds, and mammals, etc., and eat some sand grains to help digestion.

Of all birds, the ostrich is the largest, reaching 80 kilograms at a young age, which is equivalent to a large black bear.

The ostrich has a small head supported by a snake-like slender neck, on which is a short, flattened, and the only two-toed bird in the world, with dangerous toenails about 7 centimeters long on each big toe of its feet, and its hind limbs are thick and powerful, suitable for running. The sprint speed is more than 70 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to the speed of a car. When the ostrich runs, its wings are used to assist in running, and it can leap up to 8 meters in one step and reach a maximum speed of 70-80 kilometers per hour when running.

But the ostrich is not good at long-distance running, running generally only lasts about 5 minutes, because the ostrich runs mainly to avoid the enemy, when it is attacked, the rapid running can escape from the danger area in a short time, no need to run for a long time, but unfortunately the running time is not too long, can only be maintained in about 5 minutes.

In African countries, ostrich riding competitions are even held, in which they can cross a meter in one step thanks to their long legs and wings, and they often run wildly even when not provoked by other animals or humans. Ostriches are mostly found in southern Africa.

1 Wide adaptability.

Ostriches are native to the African and Arabian deserts and grasslands, and the harsh climate and natural conditions have created a unique ability to adapt to the environment. Ostriches can grow and reproduce in conditions ranging from -30 to 45. It can be sustained by feeding in small quantities in extreme grassland poverty.

2. Highly gregarious.

Ostriches often live in small flocks of 5-6 males during the breeding period, and usually in groups of 0-15 females, sometimes as many as 40-50 individuals. When a flock of ostriches is feeding or drinking, it is common to see at least one ostrich visiting and saccade, and the ostrich will only bow its head to eat and drink when the other ostriches look up, and this rotation takes only a few seconds. A similar phenomenon occurs when sleeping.

Ostriches in the same flock generally do not exhibit feeding hierarchies, and as long as there is space, ostriches rarely exhibit aggressive behavior towards feeding. When driving, it is difficult to carry out alone or a few animals, and much easier when it is a group.
