🌍 African Jacana (Actophilornis africanus) The African Jacana is a striking bird with a chestnut body, a black crown, hindneck, and eye stripe. Its blue bill extends up as a head shield, whilst its face, neck and chest is white, graduating into yellow. Its most notable feature is its extremely long legs and toes, which allow it to walk on floating vegetation like lily pads. It is found in freshwater wetlands across sub-Saharan Africa. 2.5 Flash (Edited) No subspecies are recognised.
