Enemies
Ostriches have many enemies. Some of the enemies of the ostrich are lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, vultures, and jackals that eat their eggs. Also an ostrich can spot danger from a great distance and escape. If a ostrich has to fight it will and it will use it’s strong defensive skills to protect itself. Which some are, powerful kicking legs, and claws. Also a cool fact I learned was that humans used to hunt ostriches for their pummels to decorate their dresses and hats. Since I learned that I also learned that it was so serious ostriches almost became extinct! Luckily it doesn’t happen as much anymore. When I was researching I also learned that a male ostrich makes a loud booming sound when it spots an enemy. Scientists say that an ostrich sticking its head in the ground when it sees a predator is a myth. The real fact is that an ostrich will lay it’s head near the ground when it spots an enemy. Also I learned that an ostrich is two hundred twenty pounds! As you can see, ostriches have many enemies
