Rhea (bird) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rheas , also known as ñandús ( pronounced [ & #626;an & #712;dus] ) in Spanish , or ema in Portuguese , are two species of flightless ratite birds native to South America – the greater or American rhea and the lesser or Darwin's rhea . The name was given in 1752 by Paul Mohring ; his reason for choosing this name, from the Rhea of classical mythology, is not known.
