Jacanas have several adaptations that enable them to walk on floating vegetation in lakes:
Long Toes and Claws: Their elongated toes and claws help distribute their weight over a larger area, preventing them from sinking into the water. These adaptations allow them to walk gracefully on floating vegetation source.
Weight Distribution: Especially seen in the Northern Jacana, the structure of their feet allows even weight distribution, aiding stability on delicate surfaces source.
These adaptations enable jacanas to thrive in their preferred habitat of shallow lakes and wetlands.
