  spot them among tall grasses. A zebra mother has
  the same markings as her foal.

• This savannah bird cannot fly and looks very
  strange with its long neck.

7
Ostrich

• Although ostriches look strange, they are very
  fast runners. Ostriches use their beaks to dig
  nests in the sand. A group of ostriches takes
  turns to look after the new chicks.

• The final animal is big! They live in herds and
  the females are in charge of the group.

Elephants

• Only the females and the young elephants live
  together, the male elephants do not live with
  them. Elephants use their trunks to dig deep
  holes for water. Elephants are also very fond of
  bathing.
