Adult Wattled Jacana (Jacana jacana) on marsh vegetation in the Patanal, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. The jacanas are a worldwide family (Jacanidae) of eight species that all have extremely long toes and toenails to facilitate walking on floating vegetation. Some species, including Wattled, are polyandrous, meaning the female has several mates. She lays eggs in the nests of more than one male, and the male incubates the eggs and is solely responsible for raising the chicks. At night the chicks climb under the male’s wings for protection. The juvenile plumage is very different from the adult (see my photo).

The lesser jacana (Microparra capensis) is a wader in the family Jacanidae and can be found in Africa. It can be recognized by its long legs and claws that allow it to walk on aquatic vegetation – although it is not to be confused with the larger African Jacana.
