Another two animals that team up to compensate for their own weaknesses are the zebra and the ostrich these two animals often travel together this is no surprise since they are a perfect match while the giant flightless ostrich has poor senses of both smell and hearing the zebra has acute senses of smell and hearing on the other hand the zebra has terrible eyesight while the ostrich has excellent eyesight enhancedby its seven foot long neck which enables the ostrich to see far into the distance in this way eack makes up for the other’s deficiencies as a result uhe animals are far safer together than they would be apart ostriches can see pradators such as linos from far in the distance while zebras can smell or hear others as they approach
