Скачать или смотреть The Female Ostrich Feeding Quietly and Gracefully in the Arid Grassland

Primarily herbivorous, the ostrich feeds on seeds, leaves, and flowers, occasionally eating insects or small animals. It swallows pebbles to help digest food and can survive with little water by drawing moisture from plants.

In the ecosystem, ostriches contribute to seed dispersal and soil health. Their eggs and young serve as food for predators, supporting natural food chains.

The ostrich, the world's largest bird, is native to the savannas and open woodlands of eastern and southern Africa. Although flightless, it is built for speed, capable of running up to 70 km/h. With its long legs, large eyes, and two-toed feet, it thrives in dry environments and defends itself with powerful kicks.

Humans benefit from ostriches through farming, which provides meat, leather, feathers, and decorative eggs. Their meat is lean and healthy, while their leather is valued in fashion. Ostrich tourism also supports local economies.

Agriculturally, they are resource-efficient, needing less water and space than traditional livestock, and can live on marginal lands, making them suitable for sustainable farming.

Although not currently endangered, ostriches face threats from habitat loss and illegal hunting. Conservation efforts and regulated farming help ensure their long-term survival and ecological role.
