Native to Africa, Ostriches are the largest birds on the planet. For all the magnificence of their structure, these birds have feathers but are still flightless.

Did you know? Many of us believe that there isn’t much to know about ostriches, but these birds are a mystery by themselves.

Here are some interesting facts about ostriches that you should know:

 

Ostrich’s legs: formidable weapons

The legs of an ostrich are the most formidable weapons they have. They have a long and sharp two-toed claw that is capable of killing a predator as dangerous and strong as a lion.

If humans like us ever manage to upset an ostrich, they can easily tear us into pieces. However, ostriches are not instinctively violent and do not attack until cornered or provoked.

 

Three stomachs

Did you know that ostriches have three stomachs? In addition to these stomachs, they also have an extremely long intestine, which takes 36 hours to digest food.

But why do they need three stomachs? It is because they consume tough plants in the desert that is difficult to digest.

 

Water through food

Ostriches have no problem surviving without water for days, even weeks at times. It is because they can live on a lower quantity of water and depend on ingesting water from the food they eat.

 

The myth of ostrich burying head in sand debunked

It is a popular belief across the world that ostriches bury their heads in the sand as a defense. However, it is not true at all.

Ostriches have a tendency to lie low, pressing their necks into the sand to become less visible when they encounter trouble.

To someone witnessing this from afar, it appears as if the ostrich has buried its head under the sand, and that is how the myth got around.

 

Humungous eyes

Ostriches have the largest eyes of all terrestrial animals. Their eyes are about 5 cm wide, even bigger than their brains. It allows them to locate a predator from a considerable distance.

 

Summing it up: Ostrich Names

Ostriches are elegant, somewhat royal animals of the desert. Naming them casually should be a sin! If you are looking for a proper name for these birds, you will find some interesting options in this article.
