@@GamingTranceSeer there's always the virgin gamer in these kinds of comments.
It’s very interesting that this species rely on their fathers. Most bird species require their mothers OR both parents. I’ve never seen a species rely solely on the father.
Seahorses do the same. The females lay eggs in the males' pouch and then leaves the father to care for the eggs.
Ostriches too. Multiple females lay eggs with the male, then he raises them.
Emu fathers take care of there young too
And cassowary dads
African bull frogs fall under this category too!
I saw the chicks' feet and thought, "Awww, they have to grow into them or something," and then I saw the dad's feet like, "Oh. Nope, that's their permanent proportion." 😂
There is wisdom. Everything is perfectly designed and created by Allah. As always legs perfectly balanced with leaves etc etc..

This actually made me tear up. My dad passed away 4 years ago. And everyone around me tells me how I lost the shelter on the top of my head, a big support.
A child needs their mother but the importance of father during their growth, for their support is so important, only people who are unfortunate enough to not have one, will understand
Sorry to hear abt that, I totally know how that feels. Mine did too this March but he was with me for all of my childhood and youth since I’m basically an adult. Those people who told u that need to screw off cuz they aren’t being cool saying that u lost a big support in ur life, ignore those words. Keep ur head up knowing u were lucky to have a dad, like u said many aren’t so fortunate to have a dad at all. Hope everything is well for you
Mt deepest condolences.

Never heard of these amazing birds... can't believe those babies are only a day old...AND they have crocodiles to contend with! Nature never ceases to amaze me.
Jacanas are really intriguing, they're an example of animals where the gender dynamics and dimorphism are the reverse of the usual - the females are large and territorial, the males are the main carers of offspring. They're also referred to as Jesus birds
Interesting
@@gay_hatr5172 your name really suits your bad character
Trolling Master I’m pretty sure their called “Jesus Birds” because they appear to be walking on water. And in the Bible one of Jesus’s miracles was walking on water.

It’s a breeding strategy. Such birds mate with a number of males and move on. It lets the female lay more viable eggs and guarantee more chicks will make it. In such a tough environment, it works.
@@DonnaBarrHerself thanks for the small lesson :)
