5 Dads Who Deserve Awards This Fathers Day

Let's be honest...Moms tend to be the big winners when it comes to holidays, but these Dads deserve a little special recognition for going above and beyond.

These proud papas could have their own show on Bravo!

When the time comes, these guys spring into midwife mode, cleaning off their young and even disconnecting the umbilical cord...don't ask how...

These guys add a special meaning to Daddy Day Care. Male Jacanas build nests, incubate eggs and protect newborns.

In addition, they even care for the eggs of other males!

Greater Rheas

There seems to be a trend amongst our winged brethren. Greater Rhea females mate with several suitors during breeding season and are on to the next one after the eggs are laid.

This leaves the males with six weeks on duty, as they incubate the eggs. This is no simple task as they are known to watch over up to 50 eggs!

Seahorses

Seahorse dads take over the pregnancy process altogether, accepting the eggs from the females and carrying them to birth. Watch the big day in this video!

Humans!

Our dads protected us, hoisted us over their shoulders so we could see in crowds, shared advice (sometimes even about the awkward stuff) and even acted a little silly during playtime. Check out this video for a good laugh!

For all the moments like this and more, we love them!
