Ostrich
Speed: Around 45 to 60 MPH
The Ostrich is a relatively large bird species mostly native to various places across the African continent. Funny enough, they are not actually native to Australia but some were brought over many years ago. A small flock escaped and managed to survive as well as thrive in the Australian wilderness. Today, a small amount of them still live there. As mentioned, this is a large bird species, which commonly belongs to the Ratite species. This is basically the species list that includes all large, flightless birds.
Besides the Ostrich, animals like the Emu & Kiwis are part of it. Sadly, in spite of the 7 versions of Ostrich, only 2 versions still remain due to the others being hunted to extinction. Ostriches usually travel in flocks, which is done mostly to help fight off predators. Ostriches are capable of stomping creatures or people to death. Their sharp beaks and claws are nothing to scoff at either. It is impossible to outrun them too. Ostriches are capable of reaching up to 60 mph in speed in short bursts only. For longer runs, they tend to remain at about 45 mph.
