-----------------
Explore the landscape and wildlife of the Upper Okavango River, where the deep water shows elephants swimming and carving channels through the reeds and papyrus, setting small birds afloat to drift past hippos and crocodiles. A lioness severely injured by a buffalo is left for dead by her pride. Now disabled, she must survive in the swamp alone, hunting to feed her little cubs.

no, i bet the croc wasn't anywhere near the chicks, just edited to appear that way. if you closer, they are actually 2 different crocs that are edited together as one)))

He's lucky he has a perfect amount of babies (two) to tuck away.

[@miahf7046]

[@fftere]

That's why he has only two, where do you think the others went? Lol

[@taylorkay1826]

They can tuck up to 4 at least. I have seen pics of a dad carrying 4 sets of lil leggies

[@YokaiPie]

He dropped the other two lmao

[@DonnaBarrHerself]

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.

Jacanas are so cool, easily one of my favorite birds. Definitely one of those that falls in the "this would definitely be one of the most beautiful birds except for the one thing" lol there was a viral picture several years ago of a jacana dad carrying several babies and it looked like a many-legged monster, it was a riot lol i believe quite a few ground dwelling birds pick up their young in a similar way! i know for a fact chickens can carry young ( and sometimes eggs ) in that fashion
