Rhea (Rhea americana) Eggshell Fragment

A male rhea mates with 2-12 females, he then makes one nest, in which all of those females lay their eggs. The male incubates all the eggs (up to 60!) until they hatch.

**I have a fairly large collection of natural curiosities and decided to share some on JungleDragon. I have been collecting bits of nature for years and also have many friends who have shared things with me. Everything in my collection was ethically collected/harvested/sourced and is cruelty-free.
