• Ostriches are Weird

    30 November 2023, Afrika Selatan ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F

    Ostriches are weird critters.

    They can lay up to 200 eggs/year, mate for life, live 50+ years, can run 60+km/h and have really pretty feathers that were once worth as much as gold (per unit weight).

    Also they have deadly sharp toe claws, 19 vertebrae in their neck, and despite weighing over 100kg their brain fits in a teaspoon.

    Their meat is lean and high in protein (and delicious).
