This two-toed torpedo may have the largest eyes of any animal on dry land, but it can outrun most horses!</b> <p/> Meet Eno, an ordinary ostrich living in the Serengeti, a corner of the African savanna. But there's something you should know: Even ordinary ostriches are extraordinary. And that includes Eno. <p/> You're thinking that ostriches are just overgrown chickens with ridiculous necks, skinny legs, and bad attitudes. And you're right! Believe it or not, that neck helps ostriches run at supersonic speeds. Those skinny legs can kill a lion dead. And these are only a few weapons in Eno's arsenal of superfierce survival skills<b>--</b>Eno has Colossal Orbs of Telescopic Vision, the Impossible Ever-Flow Lung, the Egg of Wonder, and so many more. <p/> You're still not convinced that ostriches are superpowered, are you? Well, you don't know ostriches yet. But you will. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rachel Poliquin</b> is a writer engaged in all things orderly and disorderly in the natural world.
