We've all seen those giant mechanical dinosaur costumes that scare kids at events. And those are great and all, but they've got nothing on this incredible ostrich costume! If you didn't know any better, you'd probably think this guy was riding an actual ostrich, but in fact, it's a costume that uses stilts built into the ostrich to make it look like you're on top of a life-size ostrich!
