A child learns to understand the uniqueness of the nandus nandus with a vocabulary building rhyme and a video of a nandus nandus in their natural habitat.

Nandus nandus you’re not to blame,

That your first and last names are the same.

Were those who named you too lazy to try,

To think up another name or didn’t you ask why?

When hungry, in order to find food for dinner,

You catch prey by waiting, even through you’re a swimmer.

You blend in with what's around and pretend you’re asleep.

Lying at the bottom of water that is more shallow than deep.
