Standing tall on long, bare legs, a humped body and a long, curving neck, the Ostrich is the biggest bird species of the world. They can not fly but are very fast runners. We saw many Ostriches in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, however, they are not endemic to this region. Ostriches have been successfully domesticated and are now farmed throughout the world, particularly in South Africa, for meat, feathers and leather.
