Contrary to popular belief, ostriches don’t bury their heads in the sand. A scenario like that would leave ostriches vulnerable to predators not to mention risking suffocation. Ostriches will run away if they sense danger. If they sense danger and can’t run away, they lie flat against the ground and press their long necks to the ground in an attempt to be less visible. From a distance, it looks like their heads are buried in the sand, because only the body is visible. Ostriches can also deliver powerful kicks, especially if predators corner them. One kick from an ostrich is mighty enough to kill a lion.
