Ostrich

We just learned about the little bird called the Kiwi.

The biggest bird in the world is the Ostrich.

It can't fly, but it can run faster than any other bird,
and about twice as fast as a human, at 43 miles per hour!

The ostrich egg is the largest egg of any living bird,
about 10 times bigger than a chicken's egg.

Sometimes if an ostrich is frightened, it will put it's head low to the ground,
so that from far away it just looks like a large pile bush instead of a big bird!

Forearm Extensors

Let's keep learning about the muscles in the human body!

Last time we learned about how the Forearm flexors are used to help flex your elbow together.

Even though the forearm muscles are smaller than biceps, there are a few other important muscles there too.

The extensor muscles are the ones you use when you move the back of your hand up toward your forearm,
or when you open up your hand and spread out your fingers.
