Ostrich Attack: The Day A Schoolboy Ran For His Life
- A schoolboy found himself in a wild goose chase—well, an ostrich chase—during a school excursion when one of the birds decided it wasn’t in the mood for visitors.
- As the boy scrambled to evade the angry bird, he stumbled a few times, but his determination kept him moving forward, leaving the other ostriches to scatter in fear.
- Social media users were relieved to see the boy escape unscathed and couldn’t help but crack a few jokes about the unexpected drama unfolding on the savannah.
Let me tell you, folks, some field trips are more eventful than others. Recently, a TikTok user uploaded a video that’s been making waves online. The clip shows what happens when a group of students ventures into ostrich territory—and things take a turn for the worse. One of the giant birds decided it didn’t appreciate the human invasion and went after a young boy with surprising ferocity.
The video, shared by user @lisa_baseballmom_09, quickly racked up 10.8K views, 532K likes, and almost 15K comments. It’s not every day you see someone being chased by an ostrich, so naturally, people had plenty to say about the incident.

When the Ostrich Decided It Wasn’t in the Mood
Now, here’s where things get interesting. In the video, we see the boy somehow separated from the rest of the group, who are safely seated on a trailer. Suddenly, an ostrich zeroes in on him like he’s its personal target. The bird starts running full speed toward the boy, who immediately bolts in the opposite direction. At one point, the ostrich actually manages to knock the boy to the ground, stomping on him briefly before he scrambles back up and sprints toward safety. Finally, he makes it onto the trailer, leaving the ostrich to cool off—or maybe just brood about its missed opportunity.
Take a look at the video below—it’s wild!
What South Africans Had to Say
After watching the video, South Africans wasted no time chiming in with their thoughts. While many were concerned about the boy’s well-being, others couldn’t resist turning the tense situation into a comedy of errors. Here’s what some users had to say:
User @dizneydreamer hilariously pointed out the teacher’s reaction:
“It’s the teacher straight up ninja-ing the air nowhere close to the ostrich that’s killing me 😂”
User @FirstNameJustine added:
“I know this wasn’t supposed to be funny, but man. The tears in my eyes! I want to ask this man some questions.”
User @Happy🌷 wisely reminded everyone:

“I’m not sure if people realize how dangerous an ostrich can be—they can disembowel you in seconds. This is scary.”
User @Kate Jaxon offered some sage advice:
“Ya gotta zig, and then ya gotta zag. No straight lines.”
User @Stacy Sexton joked about the other ostriches:
“The other ostriches are all running around in panic. ‘Greg has gone manic, get out of here’ 🤣🤣🤣.”
And finally, User @Ronald Ray859 summed it up perfectly:
“Lucky boy. Ostriches are very dangerous. Could have been killed.”
When Baboons Attack: Another Wildlife Encounter
Man Tackled by a Baboon at the Beach
While the ostrich incident made waves online, another wildlife encounter in South Africa left viewers both shocked and amused. In a separate story covered by Briefly News, a man was attacked by a baboon while enjoying a day at the beach with family and friends. The baboon apparently had its eye on something the man was holding, leading to a sudden confrontation.
The man fell flat on his back during the struggle, but thankfully, he walked away uninjured. It just goes to show that when you venture into nature, you never know what kind of adventures—or misadventures—you might encounter. Whether it’s an ostrich on the prowl or a baboon on the beach, these stories remind us to always respect wildlife and keep our distance.
