What People Remember
Many believe that ostriches, when scared or threatened, famously bury their heads in the sand to hide or escape danger.

What's Actually True
Ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand. They may lie down and press their heads and necks to the ground to hide from predators, or dig nests, but they never truly bury their heads.
