South America's pampas are home to the Rhea, a flight-less cousin of the ostrich. Standing chest-high, this grey-brown bird sprints over open grass, grazing on shoots, seeds and insects. Males dig shallow nests and single-handedly guard and raise large mixed broods.

Habitat: The Rhea can be found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay
