The African ostrich is the world's tallest living bird; where does the second tallest, the emu, come from?
Common ostrich The ostrich or common ostrich ("Struthio camelus") is either one or two species of large flightless birds native to Africa, the only living member(s) of the genus "Struthio", which is in the ratite family. In 2014, the Somali ostrich ("Struthio molybdophanes") was recognized as a distinct species.
African pipit The African pipit ("Anthus cinnamomeus") is a fairly small passerine bird belonging to the pipit genus "Anthus" in the family Motacillidae. It is also known as the grassveld pipit or grassland pipit. It was formerly lumped together with the Richard's, Australasian, mountain and paddyfield pipits in a single species, Richard's pipit ("Anthus novaeseelandiae"), but is now often treated as a species in its own right.
