The ostrich is the largest of all birds. It is found in the grassland areas of Africa. It eats fruits, leaves and seeds. An ostrich has wings but cannot fly. Instead, it runs very fast. It can run at a speed of eighty kilometres an hour. Ostrich feathers are soft because they are not needed for flying. Unlike other birds, the ostrich has only two toes on each leg. Struthio is a genus of birds in the order Struthioniformes, whose members are the ostriches. It is part of the infra-class Palaeognathae, a diverse group of beautiful flightless birds also known as ratites that includes the emus, rheas, and kiwis.
