--- Super Speedy Ostriches! 🦩 Did you know that ostriches are the **fastest running birds in the world**? These amazing birds can run as fast as **45 miles per hour (72 km/h)**—that’s faster than a car driving through town! Ostriches have **super strong legs** and special **spring-like tendons** that help them run long distances without getting tired. Each time they take a step, their legs store energy and push them forward, just like bouncing on a spring! One stride can be as long as **16 feet

Ostriches are crazy fast! They’re actually the fastest-running birds on Earth. They can reach top speeds of about 37–43 mph. Each stride can be up to 16 feet long when they’re in full sprint. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
