Heading:

Behaviour and ecology

 

3rd paragraph:

 

When threatened, ostriches run away, but they can cause serious injury and death with kicks from their powerful legs.^[12] Their legs can only kick forward.^[31]Contrary to popular belief, ostriches do not bury their heads in sand to avoid danger.^[32] This myth likely began with Pliny the Elder (AD 23–79), who wrote that ostriches "imagine, when they have thrust their head and neck into a bush, that the whole of their body is concealed."^[33] This may have been a misunderstanding of their sticking their heads in the sand to swallow sand and pebbles,^[34] or, as National Geographic suggests, of the defensive behavior of lying low, so that they may appear from a distance to have their head buried.^[35]
