The term ñandú comes from the Guaraní language word for spider. An ostrich, sadly, doesn’t speak Guaraní and is afraid of spiders.

A ñandú is a little bit uglier than an ostrich, but essential things are invisible to the eyes.

A ñandú is Latin American. Its name has an “ñ” letter and an accented vowel, both of which are great difficulties that non - Spanish - configured keyboards can’t overcome.

Ñandúes (the plural for ñandú) stand against red carpets. They prefer to keep things simple and direct. Ostriches are suckers for glamorous stuff.

Helping itself with its feet, the ñandú can count up to six. The ostrich can only count up to four, which leaves it with a clear mathematical disadvantage.

Both the ñandú and the ostrich know how to have fun, but ñandúes, being less structured, have more fun.

The ñandú is younger, it’s open to new experiences, it’s full of enthusiasm and loves to make new friends!(ANIMA'09 en FACEBOOK)
