Ostrich on a highway – level 3

Ostrich on a Highway

28-12-2023 15:00

A sprinting ostrich shocked motorists and took the Internet by storm as it ran down a federal highway in Malaysia. People could see the female bird in the right lane of the highway, leading traffic behind her.

Local news outlets said that the ostrich named Chickaboo escaped from her owner Darren Chow when he was driving her to the Ostrich Wonderland’s farm in Semenyih. The owner, an animal trainer, decided to take the ostrich back to the farm where she had been originally born because she was too big for him to keep.

The driver who filmed the video said that he had visited the ostrich in her new home, and she was safe and doing well.

Difficult words: sprint (run quickly), take something by storm (have great success).
