Can an ostrich swim? This is a question that has been asked by many people and there is still no clear answer. Some people say that ostriches can swim while other say that they cannot. There is no clear evidence to support either claim.
The majority of people seem to think that ostriches cannot swim. This is probably because they have never seen an ostrich swimming. Ostriches are very large birds and they usually live in dry sandy areas. They also have very long legs which are not well adapted for swimming.
However there are some reports of ostriches swimming. In 2006 a group of tourists in South Africa claimed to have seen an ostrich swimming in a river. The bird was apparently using its wings to help it move through the water.
There have also been some scientific studies on the subject. In 2014 a study was published in the journal Nature that looked at the anatomy of ostriches. The study found that ostriches do have some muscles and bones that are adapted for swimming.
So it is possible that ostriches can swim but there is no definitive proof. If you see an ostrich swimming please let us know!
