Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Why can a rhea not fly?
A rhea has a heavy body and wings that are too small for powered flight. Its strong legs are better suited to running across open land.
What does a rhea eat in the wild?
Rheas eat a varied diet that includes grasses, seeds, fruit, insects, and other small animals. They often search for food while walking through open countryside.
How do rheas use their wings if they cannot fly?
They hold their wings away from the body while running. This helps with balance, especially during quick turns.
