OMG! Crazy ostriches punish hyenas and leopards who are trying to steal eggs and eat baby ostriches

The ostrich, a flightless bird that lives in deserts and grasslands, can face many dangers in its life. However, one of the biggest challenges they face is protecting their eggs from hyena and cheetah attacks.

Ostrich eggs are laid on the ground and are very vulnerable to natural predators. Hyenas and cheetahs are bloodthirsty animals and often hunt ostriches to eat their eggs. However, the mother ostrich has many ways to protect her eggs.

One of the simplest ways is to build nests on high ground to avoid flooding and at the same time help the mother ostrich see her surroundings and better protect her eggs.

To create a nest, the mother ostrich uses her legs to dig a very large hole in the ground, then uses feathers and plants to build a windbreak. Then, the mother ostrich places the eggs in the nest and uses her legs to dig a small hole to hide the eggs.

In addition, when detecting a hyena or cheetah attacking her eggs, the mother ostrich will use her fast running skills to chase them away.

Ostriches move very fast and hyenas or cheetahs cannot chase them. In particular, the mother ostrich also uses the skill of pretending to be dead to make the enemy believe that they have won and give up trying to attack.
