Did you know that the brain of an ostrich is smaller than either one of its eyeballs and each of its each eye is the size of a billiard ball?
(!) Ostriches never need to drink water ! Some water is made internally in their system and the rest of water is extracted from the vegetation they eat.
Ostrich is the fastest two-legged runner in the whole world. It can attain a speed of 45 miles per hour, which is about twice to what the fastest human can attain.
Ostriches do not stick their heads in the sand to hide!
However, they do lie down, neck stretched out and head on the ground, to hide in the grass -sometimes they do this when sitting on their nest. If a rock or clump of grass hides the ostrich's head from view, it can look as though the head is in a hole in the ground.
