2. The ostrich
 Many people think that ostriches bury their heads in the sand when
they're scared. But it isn’t true. It’s just an optical illusion. Ostriches
have very big bodies but their heads are pretty small. So when they
put their head on the ground, it seems that they bury it.

3. Frogs and toads
 Many frogs and toads have bumps on their skin that look like warts.
Some people think the bumps are contagious. It is false. Warts are
caused by a human virus, not frogs or toads. But the wartlike bumps
behind a toad's ears can be dangerous. These glands comptemt
poison that irritates the mouth of depredators.

4. Birds
 It’s said that mother birds will reject their babies if they've been
touched by humans. This is again just a busted myth. If we find a
bird on the ground, that’s because it has already learnt to fly, so we
shouldn’t disturb it. Other way, most birds have a bad sense of
smelt, so this myth is totally impossible.

5. Penguins
 Legend has it that British pilots buzzing around islands off South
America saw penguins toppling over like dominoes when the birds
looked skyward. This isn’t true at all. Several experiments have
been done, and they have showed that penguins are capable of
maintaining their footing when they look at the sky.

6. Swan Song
 The term “swan song” comes from the belief that Mute Swans
(Cygnus olor) were completely silent until the last few moments of
their life, when they would sing a beautiful song. Although this is an
ancient myth and was proven to be false, as far back as 77 A.D.
(Anno Domini), the legend has lived on and the term swan song has
become mainstream.
