Answer:

Ostriches and Dinosaurs share some similarities with each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Ostriches, like most bird species, were descendants of dinosaurs. According to this response in Quora, birds are in fact dinosaurs and nothing different from them except their ability to fly...

"The Avialae are a clade of dinosaurs. Birds are still dinosaurs, they haven’t turned into something else. They are, in fact, not all that remarkable as dinosaurs go. They’re certainly far more similar to non-avian dinosaurs than a bat is to a dolphin. There’s nothing particularly special about them, apart from their evolving the ability to fly."

In hindsight, the ostrich displays some facial similarities with the prehistoric dinosaurs from which they evolved from. Although ostriches do not possess and teeth, they still resemble dinosaurs in a way that they are a primitive species of bird that somewhat resembled the transitioning of dinosaurs into the bird that we know today.
