Looks like it could use some spikes or a pair of those Nike track shoes. Or maybe take some LithiumBatroids:)

Maybe one day animatronics will become advanced enough to make zoos obsolete.

The video above is two links deep, but shows the actual accomplishment.

Pretty amazing stuff, even if it’s still slower than my grandma :)

Many zoos and aquariums conduct scientific research, and may have breeding programs for endangered species.

Ostrich's top speed is ~40mph, easily beats Usain Bolt :)

Feel like it might have better balance with an upper body with a tail or other moveable weight.
