Episode 167: A Survivor, the Ostrich

Episode 167: A Survivor, the Ostrich

We return to Africa this week to cover the iconic Ostrich. These are now the largest living birds in the world and some of the toughest. The Ostrich once roamed all the way to China and Mongolia, but now today is found in the wild on the African continent. An amazing bird with an amazing history.
