In the vast grasslands of Africa, there are countless species of flora and fauna, and ostriches and lions are the most important of them.
The ostrich has long legs and a very large body, but its running speed should not be underestimated, in only three minutes, the ostrich can use its long legs and thick and long neck to escape from danger, and the ostrich can run thousands of miles on the ground after bowing its head, and the speed will increase.
Although lions are the overlords of the grassland, they can rarely see the picture of them preying on ostriches.
The unique bowing behavior of ostriches.
The ostrich, also known as the "ostrich", is a very large bird, the height of the back is comparable to the waist of an elephant, and the ostrich has a very long neck, and can even reach a height of about three meters.
The ostrich's wings are very small, and it can't even fly, so its running speed is particularly fast, and the ostrich can run at a speed of 65 kilometers per hour, which is needless to say that it is also very difficult for some large carnivores, and even some people with a higher standard of living want to beat its speed is very difficult.
The ostrich is a very amazing bird, although its wings cannot fly, but it moves on the ground at lightning speed.
It can be said that the speed of the ostrich is very fast, and there is no need to worry about any threat, this speed brings great challenges to lions and other animals, so the ostrich is very important in self-protection.
Ostriches feed on seeds, occupy a very wide area, can live in a variety of environments, where there is plenty of water, seeds are more abundant, and grow faster.
So both male and female will choose to lay eggs in such a place to hatch the baby, and the female ostrich only needs to lay eggs, and then it will be entrusted to the male ostrich to hatch the baby, and when it comes to the hatching season, the male ostrich will begin to hatch ostrich eggs, and the female ostrich only needs to take care of it and bring it food.
When it comes to ostriches, the first thing that comes to mind is the size of the ostrich and the speed at which the ostrich runs, but the ostrich's sense of self-protection is very strong.
When the ostriches feel the danger, they will fall into a state of "bowing their heads" for the first time, which means that the ostrich will raise its head to observe the movement in front of it in order to let itself observe the situation ahead when it looks down, and when it finds danger ahead, the ostrich will "hide in the shell".
It seems that the ostrich is "hiding in the shell", but in fact, the ostrich is dodging the enemy's attack, and the ostrich will lower their head and stick it to the ground at this time, so that even the enemy's sharp claws and sharp teeth will not be able to attack the ostrich's neck, so as to save their own lives.
The ostrich's eyes are also very large, and when the ostrich's head is lowered, the ostrich's position is at a certain height, and the danger ahead can be observed, so the ostrich's self-protection behavior is actually very efficient.
The lion's ability to survive in the wild.
The lion is the most domineering animal in the African savannah, and the lion has many advantages, whether in strength or speed, the lion has far the upper hand.
Moreover, lions can quickly repel some weak prey when they are together, so the status of lions in the grassland is very high.
The lion's proudest place is its ability to survive in the wild, the lion not only has a strong hunting ability, but also has a good ability to protect, even if it encounters a very strong prey, the lion will not flinch.
It can be said that lions are the apex predators of the African savannah.
The lion's ability to survive in the wild is very strong, and the growth cycle of the lion is very fast, so the number of lions is also very large, and the range of the lion's nest is also very broad, and the lions often have some cruel scenes in the battle of kings.
Lions have a wide range of activities, they live in the dunes and plains of the African savannah, and lions are very fond of patrolling their territory, and they will change their habitat regularly.
This is all about allowing more prey to run into their mouths, while also being able to protect their territory and members of their own group, and to be able to capture a little larger food.
The most cunning thing about lions is their hunting style, lions often hunt in enclosures, and the biggest advantage of this method is that it can minimize the labor in the hunting process.
Of course, it also maximizes the timing of the prey, and the lion will generally drive the prey to a more concentrated place first, and then when a certain number of them are reached, several lions will quickly surround the prey, and then force one of the prey to a certain direction.
Then on the way to escape, another lion will pounce on you and let the prey go further, but when you finally escape, you will be eaten by another lion, which can be said to be very cunning.
The interrelationship between ostriches and lions.
Ostriches and lions are two representative species of the African savannah, but the relationship between them is not something that can be explained by simple tricks, in fact, the relationship between them is very subtle.
Let's take ostriches as an example, the main food of ostriches is seeds, and the ability to reproduce and grow is very strong, so the number of ostriches in the African savannah is very large, it can be said that there is an endless stream.
Their numbers can greatly affect the food chain formed by wild animals and plants, and the lion, as the king of the African savannah, is the main source of food for these predators.
It can be seen that the food chain formed by ostriches can have a very obvious impact on lions, so when there are too many ostriches, it will lead to a decrease in the number of lions, and it will also lead to a decrease in the reproductive ability of lions.
So the relationship between an ostrich and a lion is very delicate and can influence each other.
At the same time, the ostrich also has a self-protection ability, that is, the ostrich will take the way of "bowing its head" to avoid poisons and enemies, and when it looks down, it can observe the situation ahead, and once it finds danger, it will run away immediately, so the ostrich's ability to prey on lions is also very large.
Moreover, ostriches run very fast, which is why they can escape, so although ostriches are large, they are not a small threat to lions.
Lions are also very careful when hunting, and generally choose some relatively large prey to hunt, in order to ensure their territory and members of the group, so the chance of lions hunting ostriches is actually very low.
epilogue
The interaction between ostriches and lions can perfectly maintain the balance of ecosystems in the African savannah, so that everything on our planet can be full of life.
We should recognize the importance of protecting our ecosystems, and the mutual actions of ostriches and lions encourage our courage, and when faced with the ups and downs of life, we must believe that there is still a chance and do not give up.
