## Description

**How it works**

Motor rotation is transferred to the legs via crank plates and linkage rods, causing the Mechanical Ostrich to walk at one of two selectable speeds. The body is made from a transparent purple ABS resin that allows you to see all of the motors, gears, and cranks in action. The battery and motor are positioned for optimum weight balance.
