Funny looking birds - Ostrich

I’ve always thought that the ostrich was an odd-looking creature, an oversized bird with wings that can’t fly. In the wild they look even stranger, ambling around the savannah, usually alone or in small groups, their long, bendy necks poking above the grass and large, fat, feathery bodies hovering below.

The males are black with white tails, while the females are a duller grey colour. How they evade lions and leopards I’ve no idea – they look so out of place and ungainly.
