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.
