Summary

Rhea feels bad because he's a bird that can't fly, but he learns that he can do a lot of other great things when he becomes an animal rescuer and saves the day with Diego!

Recap

While Diego practices his Super Catch, a rhea calls for help because a pair of cuckoo birds are mocking him because he can't fly. Diego reaches the place where it's happening and ends the mocking. Diego invites Rhea to be an Animal Rescuer for the day and together they set off to rescue a nest of baby cuckoo birds. Along the way, Rhea protects some Rhea eggs from the Pumas then tip-toes up the Slippery Rocks, and they finally make it just in time to catch the baby cuckoo birds as they fall from their tree.

Facts about rheas learned

• Rheas live in the grasslands, not the snowy coasts because they're too cold.
• Rheas can run. In reality, Rheas are great swimmers, but can't swim in cold water, thus making them one of the animals to drown easily in cold water.
• Rheas hide their eggs by turning into bushes, not tables because eggs can easily be seen on tables.
• Rheas have long necks, not short ones.
• Rheas cannot fly due to gravity, their wings being too small, and their bodies being too heavy to lift off the ground.
• Rheas are afraid of pumas.

Animals found by Click

• Horse
• Maned Wolf
• Rhea
