Amazingly! Ostrich can survive two weeks without water
Ostriches, like many other savanna animals, can go several days without drinking water. When watering holes are available, ostriches will drink from them, but they can get the majority of their water from the food they eat. They can also survive without water because they can raise their body temperature and limit water loss. Finally, unlike other birds, ostrich urine is secreted independently of faeces, allowing them to conserve water. 5
