The Ostrich is a large, flightless bird native to southern Africa.

Bio[edit | edit source]

With males reaching a total height of up to nine feet (275 cm), the common ostrich is the largest bird on Earth (or at least the largest bird we haven't hunted into extinction - t. Moa bros). Native to the open savannas, their sheer size makes the heads of an ostrich something akin to a pole-mounted surveillance camera; allowing them to spot predators from vast distances.

Ostriches have primarily evolved as flight animals, and can use their powerful legs to reach speed close to fifty miles per hour (80 km/h). When cornered or defending their young, however, they can also use aforementioned legs to deliver kicks of up to two-thousand pounds of force per inch behind them. Which is nearly two to three times the amount of force found in the kick of a horse, and can snap bones just as easily.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

An ostrich somehow found its way into the ring during 8chanmania LIX, where it faced another would-be dinosaur in the form of Yoshi. A violent bout of kicking later, Yoshi left the ring victorious.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Contrary to the old saying, ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand. The adage likely springs from their behavior of digging for small stones in the ground, which they will swallow and use as gastroliths to aid in digestion.
