	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Jacana
		San Diego Zoo: African jacanas Actophilornis africanus in Scripps Aviary, western comb-crested jacanas Irediparra gallinacea gallinacea in Owens Rain Forest Aviary, southern wattled jacanas Jacana jacana jacana are in the Hummingbird Aviary and in the Children’s Zoo.
		Jacana chicks are precocial, so the male quickly teaches them how to forage for the insects, snails, worms, small crabs, fish, mollusks, and seeds that make up their diet.
		Jacana species at the San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park are fed mealworm larvae, crickets, a special zoo carnivore food, and commercial flamingo food.

	Jacana - Article by Warwick Tarboton
		Not all jacana species carry their young, and the ability or otherwise of the different species to do this appears to he related to the presence or absence of an unusual modification to the shape of the radius bone in the wing.
		African Jacana chicks become less and less tied to the male as they grow older, and males sometimes start a second breeding cycle before their first brood is flying.
		The female African Jacana's great capacity to lay successive clutches of eggs, her emancipation from parental duties, and her dominance over males, meant that she could pick and choose between males as partners, laying successive clutches for either a string of partners, or all the clutches for a single partner, as circumstances dictated.

	African Jacana (Actophilornis africana)
		Since African Jacana’s eggs and young chicks are often preyed upon, the survival of this species is largely dependent on the mother’s ability to lay several clutches of eggs in one season.
		African Jacanas are not known to be monogomous in their mating patterns.
		The male African Jacana is the main caretaker of the offspring, incubating the eggs and carrying the baby chicks under his wings to keep them warm and dry until the chicks are approximately 18 days old.

	African Jacana
		Jacana eggs are among the most stunningly marked of any birds', being rich brown in colour, heavily overlaid with thick, scribbled fl lines.
		This solar dependence may explain why jacanas are essentially tropical birds and why, at the southern end of their range (in South Africa) African Jacanas lay mainly during the five mid-summer months (November-March) whereas closer to the equator they breed in all months of the year.
		The immature African Jacana has the same general colour pattern as Lesser Jacana (white front, brown back, striped head pattern) and the two are easily confused in the field.

	JACANA SAFARI, African safaris, photo safaris, Africa safari - Fish Eagle Safaris
		The Jacana Safari is a high quality camping safari which includes light aircraft transfers between Chobe, Linyanti and the Okavango Delta, to enable guests access to the best areas of Northern Botswana.
		My lasting impression of the 13-day Jacana Safari will be the diversity of the trip: a tremendous variety of wildlife, birds, and scenery observed in an ever-changing landscape, and equally diverse activities: game drives, night drives, walking, boating, mokoro outings and an occasional moment or two to relax or to enjoy the superb food.
		The Jacana Safari is wonderful if one looks at it as a whole: a very diverse experience in terms of areas visited, accommodations, (everything from somewhat rustic camping through to a couple of really luxurious set-ups) activities etc. and it is a highly educational experience.

	Wildlife Africa- African Jacana,Behavior
		Their extremely long toes, African Jacanas can walk on floating vegetation, mainly lilypads, where they constantly look for aquatic insects, their exclusive diet.
		From the time they hatch, Jacanas can swim and dive, using this ability to escape their predators, when they young and during the molting period when the adult bird looses all his flying feathers.
		The female is larger than the male, and the most interesting feature is that the female sets up her territory, where she will mate with 3 or more males, defending her territory and males, from the intrusion of other females.

		An African grotesque - restricted in its distribution to the White Nile and its tributaries - the Shoebill - or Whaleheaded Stork - is now a rare and secretive bird.
		The jacanas are specially adapted to a life among water plants - their remarkably long toes enabling them to walk on lily leaves and other surface plants with ease.
		It nests in colonies in holes excavated in sandy banks of rivers and escarpments; the tunnels are often many feet long with a nest chamber at the end of sufficient size to allow the bird to turn round.

	Birds in Zambia
		Birds are a very large family of animals, so many, that they are broken down into groups by order, according to the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy- a new and increasingly approved taxonomy based on DNA analysis, as opposed to the older taxonomy, which was more based on appearance, geography, and behavior.
		The African Jacana is a wading bird, subsisting off insects near the water and floating on the surface of the water, or on floating debris.
		The African Openbill Stork is interesting in that the two halves of the bill only meet at the base and the tip- leaving a gap in between.
