Just in time for Father’s Day, I have some fun animal facts about animal dads thanks to Brookfield Zoo Chicago.
- African painted dog Kellan helps care for his 10 puppies, protecting and regulating pack dynamics.
- Western gray kangaroo Cheerio is the head of the patriarchy, but this species is known more to protect the “mob” than to help raise joeys.
- Poison dart frogs carry tadpoles on their backs to find a better place for survival.
- Yellow seahorses are the only species in the animal kingdom that males can get pregnant!
