Did you know…Ostrich 🪺

An ostrich's eye is indeed larger than its brain. In fact, the eyes of an ostrich are the largest among any land vertebrate. They can measure up to two inches (five centimeters) in diameter, while the ostrich's brain is relatively small in comparison.

The large size of the ostrich's eyes is attributed to their need for excellent eyesight in order to detect potential predators or threats in their environment. Ostriches are known for their keen eyesight and can spot predators from great distances.

While the ostrich's brain is relatively small, it still serves essential functions for their survival and behavior. Ostriches are intelligent birds and possess complex social behaviors. Their brain enables them to process sensory information, coordinate movements, and carry out various cognitive functions necessary for their daily activities.

The fact that the ostrich's eyes are larger than its brain is an interesting example of how different species can have unique anatomical features and adaptations based on their specific ecological needs. 🐦👁️🧠
