Running Birds, as commonly known, or to scientists as Strutiomorphs or Avimammailians. Some are very large, the smallest is 3ft. The Horned is the most unusual, because it has retractable claws.

Part Bird, Part Mammal?

When some people hear that, they're like "what?!" But, its true! Their reproduction is somewhat like a humans but they lay eggs. They have feathers too. Hence they have their own class, Avimammalia.

Behaviour

Most species hide during the day (making them hard to study.) More behaviour soon.
