Note:
The ostrich is the largest bird ever known and lays the largest eggs. Moreover it has a very high running speed. Reptiles are one of the oldest lived species on the planet. They have to live some time on water as their skin gets dry and dehydrated and lacks oxygen if their sin gets dry. On land, they live in moist conditions.
