Do ostriches really bury their heads in the sand when they are in danger?
Think too much! Would an ostrich, an extremely aggressive animal, make such a stupid escape?
The world's largest and fastest bird becomes aggressive when threatened, with claws as long as dagger-like claws at the ends of its long feet — so a single kick can cause serious damage, which is why it's wise never to try to provoke an ostrich.
It is believed that ostriches bury their heads in sand when they are in danger, but this is a misconception, which comes from the fact that when building a nest, the female ostrich will dig some shallow holes in the ground in order to use them as a nest to lay eggs.
During the incubation process, she turned the egg over several times a day with her mouth, in fact, from a distance, an ostrich reclining in a hole could easily look like it was burying its head in the sand!
Despite their funny appearance, ostriches are not cowards; They are dangerous birds and will never relax on anything that threatens the lives of them or their young birds
