Lesser jacanas have neotenous plumage, downy chicks, carpal spurs, cornified leading edge of radii, and frontal shields, wattles, or combs. Of all the waterbirds, jacanas have the longest toes and claws, which can reach 4 in (10.2 cm) long in some species. Jacanas evolved with these slender feet to help them better adapt to their watery environment. They can easily skip across lily pads and other floating plants to search for food, build nests, and evade predators. More
