Darwin’s Rhea

Darwin’s Rhea
In South America Darwin came across the rhea bird, which was much like the African ostrich but smaller. A specimen of this rarely seen bird was actually caught by Darwin and sent to the Zoological Society in England. It was later named Rhea darwini after the naturalist.
