Best Answer

Claimed top speeds of 60 mph (97 km/hr) have been suggested. But typical ostriches top out at 43 mph (70 km/hr) and the sustained speed is around 31 mph (50 km/hr).
An ostrich can run up to 35 miles (56.3 kilometers) per hour with its powerful legs. But horses are the better animal

50 miles per hour

50 miles per hour

That's actually incorrect. Ostriches can "run up to 40 miles per hour (information available at http://www.ostriches.org/faq.html)."
