African jacana chick in Chobe National Park, Botswana
This African jacana chick is doing something it saw its parents do: Walk across the lily pads and other floating vegetation in the shallow sub-Saharan lakes that African jacanas favor. At a glance, it may appear that the bird is walking on water, which earned this insect-eater a nickname: the ‘Jesus bird.'
