The ostrich, Struthio camelus, is the largest living bird. It may stand 3 in (10 ft) tail and weigh more than 150 kg (330 lb). Although flightless, the ostrich is able to take 3.5 m (12 ft) strides and to run at a sustrained speed of 50 km/h (30 mph) for 15 minutes or more. In short bursts it may reach 70 km/h (43 mph). if cornered, it can also kick dangerously with the two ciawed toes on each of its long, featheries legs. Its long neck is sparsely covered with hairlike feathers; the head is small, with large eyes and a short, flat bill. Its body is covered with large, soft, loosely structure feathers, and its wing and tail feathers are plumelike. The female is greyish Brown; the male is black, with white wings and tail. Alone among birds, ostriches eliminate urine and feces separately.
