There is a special mob only found in the jungle. There are multiple special mobs only found in the ocean (as of 1.8). But there's no special mob in the savanna biome. This idea adds the ultimate farm animal to Minecraft. However, you can only find it In savanna biomes rarely. Introducing the ostrich. Note that all these ostrich drops are what ostriches are farmed for in real life except the ostrich neck.
Rarely when exploring the savannas, you may find a small group of ostriches. You'll probably want to bring them to your base so you can start a farm. Ostriches have really good drops. They drop raw ostrich (cooked ostrich if on fire), feathers, and leather. They rarely drop an ostrich neck. You can brew an ostrich neck into an awkward potion to create a potion of reaching. This lets you have a 2 block longer reach. If it is level 2, you have a 3 block longer reach than normal. To try and keep this balanced, they cannot lay eggs like chickens can. They instead must be bred with a very rare crop. This crop can only be found uncommonly in blacksmith chests. This crop is corn. Corn heals 4 half hunger (2 full hunger) and has almost the same saturation as steak. Raw ostrich heals as much hunger as raw chicken and has the same chance to give the hunger effect, but it also has the same saturation as raw beef. Cooked ostrich heals as much hunger as cooked chicken and has the same saturation as steak. When attacked, ostriches will attack back doing 1 heart of damage to a player with no armor on all difficulties. Ostriches run away like a normal farm animal except a bit faster when on 6 health (3 hearts) and below. Ostriches have 20 health (10 hearts).
Crud. I was coming up with an idea for ostriches myself, but you beat me to it. (I like birds) Another thing about ostriches could be that they can be tamed and ridden with a saddle? Similar to horses, but faster, and they can't jump over one block. They would also occasionally buck you off? Because real people ride ostriches (rarely) no matter what, support

I was actually gonna make them mounts originally. They were gonna be slower but also be able to fight while you're riding them. I decided against it, though.

Not sure what the use for ostriches to see 64 blocks away, if they were hostile, maybe.
Just to be aware of threats, so If something like a lion was added, they could see it and run away early. Or if they eat your crops, they can find and destroy them from a way away.
I don't see why Minecraft needs this. It's a bit overpowered and rather unnecessary. I don't think every biome needs a special mob, that's useless.
Whenever you suggest something, you have to think about WHY Mojang or 4J would take the time and resources to add your idea.
I do. Every single time I suggest an idea, I think why Mojang would add this. Savannas are a cool biome that deserve its own mob. Ostriches would be great because they're farmed in real life and it would add a new bird to Minecraft.
Love the Ostrich idea, it would blend in beautifully with the Savanna. Love the Reach potion, love the unique mob per biome concept.

Well, I just don't see Mojang taking the time to add it. I don't hate all of it, though. I think reach potions are a cool idea I haven't seen before, and a new farm mob would be welcome, as well as some life to the savanna.
Hmmm.... Well, I think that it should be something like lions, or monkeys, or something else most people think comes from Africa. I mean in the savannah.

Mojang is mostly trying to add animals that aren't very mainstream right now. They added bats, ocelots, and rabbits recently. The only mainstream animal they've added since 1.2 is the horse and that is just because it fit nicely and many people requested it.
I like the idea of the ostrich. however, I do not like the fact that you need a new food item (Corn) to breed them. I feel like that was added just to feed and breed ostriches. That role could easily be filled by one of Minecraft's already existing food items (melons perhaps?)
This idea has awkward and pointless written all over it. I do like the idea you threw away of a battle ostrich, we should make it where horses are more for speed and ostriches are more for battle, you could do some kind of charge move with them as opposed to jumping higher with a horse as you said.

Ostrich skin is actually used for very expensive leather, they are eaten in real life, and their feathers are used for stuff. I may give them special ostrich feathers as a drop instead of feathers and make their feathers have a special use.

Feedback is appreciated.
Ostriches are great to add into Minecraft's savannahs, and I like the potion of reaching even though it's been suggested before.
I sincerely think that there should be a unique mob for each biome, and I think the ostrich will really fit with the Savannah biome.

So basically, I'm stupid.

Melons don't really make much sense....
In the realm of drops, I would ostrich eggs and feathers, feathers errrr, idk pick something stupid from this website as a use: http://www.ostrichfeathers.co.za/ostrich_feather_products.php
Ostrich eggs, they would ummmm idk yet.
