- First, the size of the ostrich than the size of the larger;
- The second is the toe: the ostrich has two toes, the owl has three;
- The third is wings: although neither of the big birds can fly, the ostrich still retains its larger wings, and the wings of the ostrich have almost completely degenerated, which is one of the reasons why scientists believe that the earth's history is much longer than the ostrich;
