Ostriches do not bury their head in the sand. They stretch out their neck and lay their head on the ground to keep from being seen, hence the myth that ostriches hide in the sand. Ostriches skeletons and fossils have been found which date back over 120 million years; ostriches are a true dinosaur. With at least 2 million ostriches living worldwide, ostriches are not an endangered species. An ostrich can kill a predator with a single kick. And they look angry too.
