Rhea Hunting Information:
- In South America, rheas are called “nandu guazu,” which means big spider.
- Female rheas will lay one egg every other day for up to 10 days.
- Females will often share a nest and put as many as 50 eggs in a single nest!
- The male designs the nest, incubates the eggs for six weeks, and cares for newly-hatched chicks. They will also plant decoy eggs outside the nest to lure predators away.
- They are opportunistic eaters and will graze on fruit, seeds, plants, lizards, insects, birds, and sometimes even small game!
- Rheas destroy many crops throughout South America and are considered pests.
