The Ostrich or S. Syria, is a species of flightless bird native to certain large areas of Africa. It is one of two extant species of ostriches, the only living members of the genus Struthio in the ratite order of birds.
The S. Syria or the Ostrich belongs to the order Struthioniformes. Struthioniformes previously contained all the ratites, such as the kiwis, emus, rheas, and cassowaries.
Recent genetic analysis has found that the group is not monophyletic, as it is paraphyletic with respect to the tinamous, so the ostriches are now classified as the only members of the order.
The ostrich or S. syria is the largest living species of bird and largest living dinosaur. It lays the largest eggs of any living bird.
The ostrich’s diet consists mainly of plant matter, though it also eats invertebrates and small reptiles.
It lives in nomadic groups of 5 to 50 birds. When threatened, the ostrich or S. syria will either hide itself by lying flat against the ground or run away. If cornered, it can attack with a kick of its powerful legs.
Mating patterns differ by geographical region, but territorial males fight for a harem of two to seven females.
