Ostriches are very smart. They guard their nest from predator's. The male pretends to be injured and leads the predator away. When the predator comes close the male runs away. The female lies down atop of the eggs so she can blend into the sand and ground. Tell me that is not smart!!!!!!!!!!


What kind of animals live with ostriches?

Ostriches live in Africa, in deserts, savannas and mountainous regions, as well as dense brush and open woodlands. For protection, they often congregate with grazing mammals such as zebras and some antelope species. They are also found living with giraffes and elephants. Not only do these mammals flush out food for ostriches, they also provide an early warning system. When there is a predator such as a lion, ostriches use their forward-facing eyes to spot the predator before sprinting off at 45 miles per hour. Ostriches have keen vision, and that helps with the senses of smell that the graving mammals they congregate with have.
