Explanation by: Admin

The Ostrich (Struthio camelus) is the largest living bird on Earth.

It can grow up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall and weigh around 150 kg (330 lbs).

Although flightless, it is the fastest running bird, reaching speeds of 70 km/h (43 mph).


Other Options Explained:

(A) Emu – The second-largest bird, native to Australia.

(C) Albatross – Has the largest wingspan (up to 12 feet), but is not the largest bird.

(D) Siberian Crane – A large migratory bird but much smaller than an ostrich.


Thus, the correct answer is (B) Ostrich.
