As many of you may know our ostriches have really
become part of the family, quite literally. However, we were really surprised
as to what one female got up to the other day.
On Monday
the 30th one of our guests was enjoying a relaxing mid afternoon
swim, and didn’t think much of the curious Ostrich’s presence (Those of you who
have been to Ubizane know that the ostriches are very inquisitive and are
forever milling in everyone’s business).
This time however it seemed it was more than mere curiosity that drew
the Ostrich closer and closer to the edge of the pool.
Clearly the heat had gotten to the Ostrich as well,
and she boldly took a step forward and landed with a splash into the pool at
Safari Lodge. After a casual swim to the steps of the pool, the drenched ostrich
elegantly climbed out the pool and casually strolled away, as if nothing was
wrong. This I’m sure you can imagine left our guest in amazement!
Even though the ostrich may have a brain smaller than its eyeball, it clearly has enough brain capacity to realize when it is
getting hot, and that the pool is an ideal place to cool off. Our only concern is
that if the ostriches are taking a dip in winter, what are they going to be
doing in summer?
