Greater Rhea, Rhea americana, Rheidae, Rheiformes, Paleognathae, Ratite. The rheas are species of ratites, flightless birds with unkeeled sterna, in the genus Rhea, native to South America. There are two existing species the Greater or American Rhea and the Lesser or Darwin's Rhea. The genus name was given in 1752 by Paul Mohring and adopted as the English common name. Mohring's reason for choosing this name from the Rhea of classical mythology is not known.
