Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds on Earth. With a height up to 2.8 meters and a weight reaching up to 156 kilograms. The wingspan of an ostrich is about 2 meters. The ostrich dwarfs its counterparts. For instance, the Australian Emu is the second largest bird, but it is significantly smaller than the ostrich.
 
The ostrich egg also stands out for its sheer size and scale. It is the largest egg of any living bird. On average, an ostrich egg measures about 15 centimeters in length and 13 centimeters in diameter, and weighs approximately 1.4 kilograms. This is comparable to 24 chicken eggs!
 
The thickness of an ostrich eggs shell is also impressive. At about 3 millimeters thick, it is so strong that a human can stand on it without breaking it.
 
Due to their size and bulk, ostriches arent capable of flying. But they can run! In a single stride, an ostrich can cover a distance of 3-5 meters. It can reach a maximum speed of 72.5 km/hour.
