Good Dads and Not-So-Good Dads in the Animal Kingdom: Scientific American - http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog...
"First off, to every father out there (biological or not), this is the time where we stand up and say thank you. We may not always show it, but we love you and appreciate everything you have done for us thus far. Today is also the day where we celebrate the uniqueness of our fathers, as no two dads are alike. In fact, there are many different types – the “cool” father, the “don’t get on the wrong side of me” pop, and of course the “don’t tell your mother” dad. It is not just in humans that fathers show such a wide degree of parenting styles, as the same is true in the animal kingdom. The thing is, the role of being a father is often overlooked in many animals – they deposit their sperm and leave, their job complete, and leave the rest of it up to the female. While it may often be the case that the biggest role an animal father has in their offspring’s life is the sperm they donate, some animal dads do go the extra mile and exceed all expectations. However, let us first look at some dads who are, quite frankly, not the greatest role models out there." - Lit
Cuties! -> I know it's not what the article is about, but whatever, they're animals, why would you even compare. Can you expect them to anthropomorphize their behavior to fit our def'n of a "good dad" - sofarsoShawn
