#28: The Big Kick
Ostriches might seem like big, goofy birds, but apparently, they have some serious power behind those long legs. I can’t even imagine the force it would take to disembowel someone with a kick. It’s definitely not something I want to experience firsthand. I have to give credit to the zookeepers who work with these animals daily.
It takes a lot of bravery and skill to handle such powerful creatures. I’ll definitely be staying far away from the ostrich enclosure on my next zoo visit. Fun fact – they often use this kick to keep themselves safe from lions in the wild. This defense mechanism works pretty well!
