Andy Torbet tries to match the top speed of the ostrich, the fastest bird on two legs.

Andy Torbet goes up against the world's most powerful animals. Andy uses superhero technology to try to match the top speed of the fastest bird on two legs, the ostrich.

Action adventurer Andy Torbet takes on some of the biggest challenges of his life as he attempts to match the super-skills of some of nature's superheroes, as he embarks on a range of thrilling and daring challenges. 

In this episode Andy travels to California to find the superhero technology that can help him match the fastest bird on two legs, the ostrich. This super-sprinter has a top speed of 45mph, so Andy tries everything from a training session with Team GB sprinter Asha Philip, to using a jet pack to increase his running speed. 

He even runs in a pair of the aptly named Bionic Boots, which were inspired by the 0strich itself. But is all the bionic technology enough to beat the ostrich in a head-to-head race, or will Andy be going home with egg on his face?
