Birding Questions & Answers

Question: Most birds have four toes. Can you name one that has less?

Answer: One is the Ostrich, with the toes uniquely reduced to two almost like a hoof. What would be better for a big, flightless, grasslands grazer?

The Ostrich uses its feet for defense. The claw on the larger toe can disembowel a lion, or person, with one swift kick.
