Ostriches, like other modern birds, lack teeth. They eat everything from roots, plants, and seeds to lizards and insects because they are omnivores. Ostriches must swallow grit and rocks to help break down their varied diet. This unusual digestion is aided further by a number of other adaptations, including three stomachs and intestines that stretch for approximately 46 feet.
