Wattled jacana — size comparison — facts and sources
The wattled jacana walks on floating leaves using elongated toes that spread its weight. It gathers insects, molluscs, seeds and other small animals among aquatic plants.
A female may hold an area encompassing several males' territories and mate with successive partners. The male incubates eggs and leads chicks. Young soon begin moving over vegetation and gathering their own food.
