greater rhea (bird: skin)
Descriptions
This is the largest bird of the Americas. The rhea holds out its large wings while running to help it balance. Like the cassowary and emu the rhea has only 3 toes. It is an unmistakeable bird in its native range of Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina.
This object is on display at RAMM in the In Fine Feather gallery.
