Struthioniformes

The Order Struthioniformes comprises ostriches, emus, kiwis, and other flightless birds. These birds have evolved to have flat breastbones, small wings, and long legs, which make them well-adapted for running and walking on land. Ostriches are the largest living birds and are native to Africa, while emus are the second-largest living birds and are found in Australia. On the other hand, Kiwis are small, flightless birds native to New Zealand. Despite their differences, these birds share a common ancestor and have similar characteristics that have helped them thrive in their respective environments.
