Elegant Rhea Taxidermy Specimen – A South American Ratite 42"H

This 42-inch-tall Rhea taxidermy specimen showcases one of South America’s most fascinating flightless birds. Rheas (Rhea americana and Rhea pennata), also known as ñandús or South American ostriches, belong to the ratite family, making them distant relatives of the African ostrich and Australian emu. As the third-largest living ratite, rheas are known for their long legs, soft plumage, and remarkable running ability. They are commonly found in grasslands, savannas, and scrublands, with populations extending from Argentina and Brazil to Bolivia and Paraguay.

With its long, elegant neck and characteristic soft brown feathers, this taxidermy piece is a stunning representation of South America's unique wildlife, perfect for collectors, museums, or nature enthusiasts looking to add a touch of the wild to their space.
