                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Dans la famille jacana à poitrine dorée, c’est papa qui reste à la maison !                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  En effet, chez cette espèce d’oiseau d’Afrique subsaharienne, le mâle s’occupe du nid et des poussins tandis que la femelle entretient… un harem de mâles !                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Ainsi, Ainsi, ce petit va rester 70 jours sous la protection de son papa, avant de pouvoir s’aventurer seul sur ces nénuphars.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Il va d’ailleurs passer le reste de sa vie sur ce type de plantes aquatiques. Grâce à ses longs doigts, le jacana peut répartir son poids sur cette surface végétale flottante sans risquer de couler. Il y trouve toute la nourriture nécessaire pour survivre sans avoir besoin d’aller voir ailleurs.
