Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Most parents in the animal kingdom provide the only care to their young, if they provide any at all. The greater ani is a remarkable exception. Nests are communal, shared by two to five pairs, and the eggs are all cared for collectively. Hatched chicks are free to leave after only 5 days, but will be fed for several weeks if they choose to stay longer-- another unusual trait, as most mothers encourage independence as soon as possible.
