We were learning about good Dads in the Animal Kingdom. Here are some we found out about:
Dinosaur
The experts say that there is evidence
that dinosaur dads minded their children
and protected the nest.
Marmoset
The marmoset grooms the baby monkeys,
feeds them and carries them round on his back.
Seahorse
The seahorse is the only male creature that gives birth
Darwin frog
Carries the eggs in a special pocket
in his throat until they hatch into tadpoles.
Siamese fighting fish
Protects the eggs until they hatch.
Emperor penguin
The Emperor penguin keeps his egg warm under his feathers, balanced on his toes. He doesn’t eat for two months while he is waiting for the egg to hatch.
Silverback gorilla
The silverback gorilla protects his children and plays with them.
