Feet

Its feet of ostrich are very curious, and different from those of all other birds. They are somewhat like the foot of the camel, having a soft pad or cushion underneath, and only two toes. The largest toe is about seven inches long, and has a broad claw at the end; the other is about four inches long, and has no claw. Although ostrich cannot fly, it can run faster than the swiftest horse.
