Ostriches eat mostly plants, particularly roots, grass and seeds, but they also munch on [[insect]]s such as [[grasshopper]]s and small animals such as [[lizard]]s. When an ostrich eats, food is collected in the top of the throat, until there is a large enough lump to push down the chunk of food. Ostriches eat many things which other animals cannot digest. They have remarkably durable 46 foot long intestines used to absorb as many nutrients as possible. These large birds will eat sand, bark and small stones, which help to grind up food in their muscular [[stomach]]es. Ostriches do not need to drink water since they receive, which they need primarily from plants, although they will drink, if they come to a river. They have also a special way of raising their underwings on the hot days, in order to reduce loss of [[water]].
