It’s Father’s Day this Sunday! To help you and the family celebrate, here’s a countdown of some of the coolest dads in the animal kingdom. Leave a comment to share what’s awesome about your dad.
1) Chinstrap penguin
Male and female chinstrap penguins take turns incubating the eggs and helping to feed the chicks.
2)Grey wolf
Males and females form lifelong bonds, they raise their pups together as a family.
3) Gorilla
Males lead the group, providing protection for the young and sometimes taking charge of parenting.
4) Jacanca
Jacancas are single dads! They incubate the eggs and raise the chicks on their own.
5) Lion
Lion dads defend the pride’s territory, leaving mom to take care of hunting and raising the cubs.
6) Marmoset
Marmoset dads help to groom and feed their young as well as give them piggyback rides!
7) Poison dart frog
Once the eggs hatch, the tadpoles are carried on both mom and dad’s back to a water source.
8) Red fox
Red fox dads bring food back to the den for mom and the kits.
9) Seahorse
Seahorse dads carry the incubated eggs in their pouch until they hatch, which can take up to 45 days.
10) Great horned owl
In this family, dad keeps busy bringing food, like mice, to mom and the newborn chicks.
how do jacanas get food for there babies if there sitting on the eggs
when the jacanas eat it goes threw their body and in there stomach witch feeds the baby inside of the mother jacanas thats how they feed their babys and the same with people
After the female lays the eggs, the males incubate them under their wings. The dads will even move the eggs if they become endangered. The chicks can walk and swim within hours of hatching so dad will teach them to forage for food right away.
