Have you ever watched a weaver bird build its amazing nest? Or seen
how the bower bird courts its bride-to-be? Did you know how the
lammergeier of the Himalayas gets to the marrow of a bone it has
picked up? Or seen the tricks the lapwing performs in order to
protect its young?
Animal behaviour is varied and fascinating, but it is sometimes very
difficult to understand why animals behave the way they do. Because
of this, a number of myths have grown up around animals. For
instance, it is believed that the ostrich buries its head in the
sand when faced with danger. This is not true! Here are some
Remarkable Animals and the myths that surround them.
