Ostriches Ambush!

By: Richards, Derrick

Although ostriches are increasingly raised on ranches, they're not domesticated, and should never be kept as pets. Ostriches may be funny-looking birds with their long legs and huge, popping eyes, but don't get too close. An ostrich's huge talons are sharp enough to kill a lion Ostriches also eat anything they can find, such as rocks, buttons, and even alarm clocks. These and other fun facts found in this volume provide life science lessons for young readers and also show them why wild animals don't make good pets.
