Question

How do ostriches adapt themselves to the hot desert?

Answer 1

Ostriches commonly live in the African Savanna or hotter regions, because of this the ostrich has a lot of exposed skin such as the legs, and head. They have developed many different behavioral adaptations.

The feet, are long and flat, to make treading through the desert very easy and swift. When they are on the run, the tall heel gives them the extra push. They take turns to guard the egg and alert other animals of danger. Over time ostriches have their feathers gotten thicker and thicker, because it makes themselves look bigger and more intimidating to the predators that keep coming for ostriches. They tend to "peck" at their young to make them toughen up.
