Ostrich
Many people believe ostrich’s bury their head in the sand. This isn’t true! When an ostrich senses danger & can’t run away it flops to the ground.
As the ostrich’s head & neck are the same colour as the ground, it looks as if their head is buried in the sand. The ostrich is the largest living bird in the world. Although flightless, they are built to run. They have just 2 toes on each leg for greater speed. They have very powerful legs & their kick is strong enough to kill a lion!
