Ostriches

Shaggy feathers rustle ... Long legs stretch ... Meet the ostrich! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these large, flightless African birds. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a traditional San story about the ostrich adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
