Do ostriches(鸵鸟$) really bury their heads in the sand? From goldfish having a three-second memory to snakes being charmed by music, there are many w\underline{1} ideas about animal behaviours($行为$). This myth about ostriches is one of t\underline{2}.$
Thanks to their good eyesight(视力$), ostriches often notice a predator, such as a cheetah or a lion, b\underline{3} it sees them. Then the birds may lie down on the ground to appear like a large rock. They don't stick their heads into the ground, though.$
$If they are noticed, ostriches have a much better way of getting a\underline{4} from danger: running very fast in the opposite direction. These birds can't fly, but they make up for it with h\underline{5} speed($速度)—they are the world's fastest two-legged animals at speeds of up to 70 kph. In addition, if they are attacked(攻击$), they can also use their large and powerful legs to p\underline{6} themselves.$
$But where did the head-burying myth c\underline{7} from? Well, it's all about misunderstanding. Ostriches do dig into the sand, but they dig to b\underline{8} nests($巢$). Since they cannot fly and nest in trees like other birds, the males use their beaks to make a hole in the ground. This behaviour might look like they're burying their heads, but they're just setting up a comfortable h\underline{9} for their eggs.$
$It's always fun to learn about the f\underline{10} about our amazing animal friends! So, next time you hear someone talking about an ostrich burying its head in the sand, you know it's not because it is timid or afraid.$
