Decent With Modification
When ostriches were first around they had really long tails and looked like dinosaur but the changed over time into the current ostrich that has a large feather bundle tail instead of a long tail.
Type of Natural Selection
The type of natural selection my taxonomic group has is directional selection because they migrated and are still changing habitats from parts of Africa to parts of the Middle East.

The ostrich is a very different animal than others. Its digestive system differs in many ways from others except for its closely related  species like emus and great spotted kiwis. The ostrich is also the largest flightless bird on Earth. The ostrich needs good nutrition for its best productivity, similar to the emu.

Type of Speciation- Gradual
Type of Evolution- Convergent
Mating- Non random
Immigration and Emigration- Ostriches have moved all over the world. They emigrated from only a certain part of Africa to all over Africa and some parts of the Middle East.

Ostriches and emus are given birth in eggs like normal birds. In the early development of my taxonomic group they start vertebrate development. Then they start to diverge into there certain species of ostriches, emus, and other similar species.

1. The kingdoms, phylum, and class are all the same.
2. To find similarities and differences between the three you can scan the chart.

1. Lithornithid skull - 50 million years old
2. Nearly complete skeleton of Calciavis grandei - 50 million years old
3. Ornithomimids -  roamed with the dinosaurs millions of years ago
4. Terror bird skeleton - 60 million years old
5. Dorsal view of the back/hips of the Great Spotted Kiwi - Decades old
6. Exploded skull of an ostrich - Decades old
-These fossils show the evolution of my taxonomic group because at first he oldest fossils look like a dinosaur bird when the newer fossils look like a current day animal.

The ostrich has 80 chromosomes compared to the emu which has 82 chromosomes. The karyotypes of both the emu and the ostrich are very similar in both animals. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00283247
