From afar this may just look like another large bird, but there's something that makes it one of the best. The Kori bustard is a bird species native to Southern Africa.

It can fly but it prefers to be on the ground where it can run 80 kilometers per hour. It weighs a maximum of 18 kilograms or 40 pounds.
It eats both plants and other animals, meaning it’s omnivorous. The kori bustards diet includes Insects, small mammals, lizards, snakes, seeds and berries. It's quite a large bird so it only has a few predators, which are hyenas, lions, and the martial eagle. The male birds can display their wings to make themselves bigger.
Their mating rituals really show off how cool these birds are. One thing the males do is puff up their throat so it looks like a large ball of feathers, they also stand up very straight. This bird has a lifespan of around 27 years. It’s a mostly brown bird that blends in with its environment. It has a white stomach, brown back, and wings spotted with black dots.
