Ostriches Bury Heads In Sand

Featured

The image of an ostrich burying its head in the sand out of fear is a classic cartoon trope, but it's not based on reality.

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.
