The crested ostrich is one of the special animals of Africa, with a height of up to 2 meters and a weight of nearly 140 kg. The most characteristic feature of this ostrich is the long hairy crest that covers the head, creating a unique and different beauty compared to other ostriches.

Crested ostriches commonly live in the rainforests, savannas and deserts of Africa, and are omnivores, eating grass, seeds and insects. However, due to urban development and agriculture, many crested ostrich populations have lost their habitat and severely reduced their numbers. Currently, the crested ostrich is on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is considered an endangered species.
