Why Can't Ostriches Fly?
Description
Why can't ostriches fly?....The reason ostriches can't fly boils down to their anatomy. Flight requires a lightweight body, powerful chest muscles, and a specific bone structure to support flapping wings. Birds that fly have a keeled sternum, which acts as an anchor point for strong flight muscles. Ostriches, however, have a flat sternum, meaning there's no place to attach the large muscles needed for powered flight. It's a bit like trying to launch a glider without any engine, yes, they might have the wings, but without thrust, they cannot get off the ground.
