Avestruz común

El ave viva más grande y pesada del mundo, el avestruz común (Struthio camelus) puede medir hasta 2,8 metros de altura y pesar 156 kg, habitando sabanas y llanuras semiáridas de África. Sin capacidad de vuelo, lo compensa con poderosas patas largas capaces de propinar patadas mortales y sostener velocidades de carrera de 70 km/h —la más rápida de cualquier ave. Sus grandes ojos son los más grandes de cualquier vertebrado terrestre. Las avestruces ponen los huevos más grandes de cualquier ave viva.
