What are the natural enemies of ostriches?

The animal world explained by Lao Zhao of p>CCTV is still so authentic. Today I want to talk about ostriches.

Lao Zhao said that the biggest natural enemy of ostriches in Africa is lions, but lions rarely attack ostriches. Most of the time, lions would rather choose elephants and giraffes with greater risks than hunt ostriches. Why?

Lao Zhao said that the main reason is that ostriches run very fast and have super endurance. The average speed can reach 55KM/H, and the highest speed can reach 7 km/h. In the hot African land, the lion runs for an hour at 55KM/h, and the lion is absolutely dead. In addition, many ostriches are family collective activities, and the largest family can catch 3 adult ostriches, which is very powerful. Therefore, few lions are willing to hunt.

But I think there should be another reason. Genetic factors, just like we are nervous now, or we are prone to goose bumps when we are scared, are all things left over by our ancestors.

The ancestors of ostriches had already roamed the jungle as early as the dinosaur era, which was dominated by carnivores. Now it is generally believed in science that the ancestors of ostriches, or at least their close relatives, are the largest carnivorous birds in history. Their bodies are roughly the same as those of adult African males. Like ostriches, they can't fly, have feathers, can run fast, and more importantly, have teeth. The BBC's Walking With Beasts said that this kind of big bird likes to hunt small and medium-sized dinosaurs and most mammals. At that time, mammals were mostly small things, and the largest size was equivalent to today's domestic cats. Imagine that mammals at that time must be extremely afraid when they met close relatives or ancestors of ostriches. Perhaps this inheritance was hidden in DNA and passed on to today's mammals. Lions are an example, so they rarely hunt ostriches, except that they are not easy to catch, and they come from the heart.

In fact, people, that is, an evolved mammal that can walk upright, should be more afraid of nature. Don't eat everything, and don't want to transform everything. In the end, you will suffer.

Personally, I think those ostrich birds will steal ostrich eggs!

of course, when people appear, the natural enemy of ostriches is people!

Man, the most horrible animal in history, deserves to be the natural enemy of all living things with his wisdom, including his own kind!
