I read a book about ostriches. It is said that ostriches are not only fast and powerful, but also very intelligent animals. "Ostriches are intelligent animals", this point of view is indeed a brand-new insight for those who often look at ostriches with a fallacious eye, because we usually call those who cannot face things and have no courage, called "ostrich mentality" , and for stupid people, we just call it "ostrich". That's because previous zoologists studied that ostriches would bury their heads in the sand when they encountered danger. But is the ostrich such a stupid animal?

New zoologists have proved the mistakes of the past. When an ostrich encounters danger, if it is normal, it will struggle to escape. If it is hatching, it will stretch its long neck along the ground and hide its head in the sand. behind to protect their children from harm. This kind of behavior of the ostrich is deeply wise, because the tall body and the extended neck can be seen even by enemies miles away. If you dress up as a sand dune, it will not be easy to be found. I was deeply moved by the wisdom developed by the ostrich in order to protect its children. It turns out that the ostrich is not stupid and ignorant. It is because people look at it with ignorant eyes that we have stupid knowledge.

Not only ostriches are like this, chameleons, dead leaf butterflies, stick insects, human-faced spiders and other tiny living beings that we can see everywhere have developed such delicate wisdom in order to protect life and reproduce offspring! Therefore, for sentient beings, we should not underestimate them. The hearts of sentient beings hide profound treasures far beyond our imagination. Take the ostrich as an example!Ostriches like to dance when they are courting. The enthusiasm of their dancing is like the war dance of African warriors. I have seen ostriches dancing in videos, accompanied by rock music, which makes the dance steps of ostriches full of passion and passion. Lyrical and romantic, like a rock singer who has been rehearsed for a long time on the stage.

For such a sentient being with wisdom and emotion, who would have the heart to harm it? However, the number of ostriches in the world is becoming increasingly rare.
