Species: Maasai Ostrich | Location: Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
We first spotted this ostrich hundreds of yards away, partially hidden in the tall Mara grasses. As we continued our drive, we realized it had changed course and was headed in our direction. What luck that it chose to cross the roadway mere feet in front of our vehicle!
