Fast runner, but not too smart

The ostrich's brain is small and about the size of a walnut, weighing approximately 40 grams. In contrast, its large eyes take up half of its relatively small head.
It's a myth that the ostrich sticks its head in the sand when it gets scared. The ostrich runs away if it gets frightened.
Ostriches will eat almost anything that shines, such as caps, glass, etc. They are not the smartest animals on Savannen - so please remember that all animals in Knuthenborg must not be fed.
The ostrich is the world's largest bird, but cannot fly. Instead, they can reach a top speed of 70 km/h.
The male is black and white, and the female is gray-brown.
