where do ostriches live

Ostriches are native to Africa and primarily inhabit open, dry habitats such as savannas, grasslands, and semi-arid regions (Sahel). They can also adapt to deserts and drier woodland areas, provided there is enough food and water to sustain them. They are widespread across southern and eastern Africa, with several subspecies occupying various parts of the continent.

If you’d like, I can summarize where different ostrich populations (e.g., common ostrich vs Somali ostrich) are found today, or provide quick facts about their habitats, diet, and behavior.
