Ostrich are the fastest animals out there. Can you breed an ostrich and ride them, like the one described in "The Swiss Family Robinson" book?

Yes, you can. You can also hook one up to a sulky and it will outpace a harness horse. This I have seen. But, I haven't personally experienced riding or driving one.

That's an interesting question. I have never seen an ostrich ridden or driven and have no idea where they would even do that. I know they hunt ostriches in Argentina.

I have only seen ostriches ridden on TV. I see how this is possible, but I think they are kind of wild. I would be afraid to be pecked. I don't think I would have the patience to train the ostrich even if I could get over my apprehension.
