* South African Savanna
== Other info ==
They live on wetlands, walking on lilypads and other floating vegetation, eating any bugs, mussels or small crabs and fish they come across. Females rarely choose to breed with the same male for every clutch she lays, preferring to breed with a variety of different males.
Incubating the eggs & raising the chicks is left entirely to the father, the mother leaving after the last egg of the clutch is laid. Upon spotting danger, the father will pick up his chicks in his wings and carry them to safety. He will continue doing this until his chicks reach the age of 2 weeks and 4 days.
The chicks fledge at the age of 2 months.
