    Captures for today is the ostrich, which is originally a native of Africa. Among the many interesting facts about these wonderful flightless birds, ostriches are supposed to be the fastest two legged runners. It is said they run up to 45 plus miles / 72.5 plus km s per hour, which is faster than a lion or hyena. The size of their eyes running 2 inches horizontally are bigger than their brain.

    Ostrich at the Asheboro North Carolina zoo was happy to pose for a picture 🙂
    Ostriches have strong legs, a kick from an ostrich can even kill a lion ! Their eggs can be up to a size of medium cantaloupe and by weight equivalent to 24 chicken eggs:)

      Amazing photos, and it's incredible to think they can run so fast, even outrunning a lion! x
