LAST NIGHT, IN MY SOLITARY RENTED ROOM, I START RECEIVING TEXT MESSAGES FROM FRIENDS WHO GREETED ME A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY. AS USUAL, IT TURNS MY EYES RED AND BECOMES WATERY UNTIL TINY TEARDROPS WAS FORMED THEN LIKE A STREAM IT KEEPS ROLLING DOWN ON MY FACE.
TRYING TO COMFORT MYSELF, I TURNED ON THE TELEVISION TO WATCH SOMETHING THAT WILL TEMPORARILY FORGET MY UNFORGETTABLE PAST, BUT TO MY DISMAY, AS I SWITCHED ON THE TV, IT LEADS ME TO A PROGRAM THAT WILL REMINDS ME OF MY PAST,
GMA NEWS TV 11, AIRED THE TOP 10 PROTECTIVE ANIMAL DADS IN CONSONANCE WITH THE CELEBRATION OF FATHER'S DAY. DEFINITELY, THE PROGRAM CAUGHT MY ATTENTION AND LEARNED IMPORTANT LESSONS IN LIFE. THE PROGRAM'S TOP 10 PROTECTIVE ANIMAL DADS WORTH SHARING.
10. THE LION WAS LISTED AS THE NO.1O MOST PROTECTIVE DAD. I SEARCHED FOR THIS PART OF THE MOVIE OF THE LION KING TO ILLUSTRATE HOW PROTECTIVE THE LION DAD IS OVER HIS CUBS.
- 9. AT THE NO.9 SPOT IS THE HORNBILL. THE HORNBILL IS AN AMAZING ANIMAL. THE FATHER HORNBILL IS VERY PROTECTIVE OF HIS FAMILY AND VERY RESPONSIBLE. AS YOU SAW IT IN THIS VIDEO AFTER IDENTIFYING A NESTING GROUND, THE MOTHER FEMALE HORNBILL WENT IN TO START LAYING EGGS AND WHEN SHE IS INSIDE THE MALE HORNBILL CLOSES THE OPENING WITH MUD SO THAT NO ONE WILL HARM HIS FAMILY. ONLY A SMALL OPENING IS LEFT SERVING AS THE PASSAGE OF FOODS PROVIDED BY THE FATHER HORNBILL FOR HIS WIFE AND CHICKS
8. PLACING NO.8 IS THE UNPRECEDENTED COCKROACH. LIKE THE REST I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I LEARNED THAT THIS INSECT BELONGS TO MOST PROTECTIVE ANIMAL DADS. AND THAT THIS PEST DESERVES A SECOND LOOK FROM US. DESPITE OF HIS UGLY APPEARANCE AND DESPISING PUBLIC STATUS LIES A HIDDEN TRAITS THAT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED AND LEARNED BY HUMAN.
IT TAKES ME A LOT OF TIME TO RESEARCH ON COCKROACHES AND WHY THIS INSECTS WITH BAD REPUTATION BELONGS TO THE TOP TEN MOST PROTECTIVE ANIMAL DADS. MY SEARCH LEADS ME TO YOU TUBE TEN MOST AMAZING FATHER WERE COCKROACH LANDED AS NO. 9 MOST AMAZING FATHER. ACCORDING TO THE NARRATOR OF THE VIDEO, NITROGEN IS A NECESSARY NUTRIENTS FOR THE YOUNGS. THE FATHER COCKROACH TRAVEL AS FAR AS HE CAN JUST TO COLLECT BIRDS DROPPINGS BY EATING IT AND SHARING KEEPING THE YOUNG FREE FROM INFECTION.
7. CHOOSEN IN THE NO.7 SPOT BY THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPIC IS THE SLIPPERY FROG/TOAD BECAUSE OF HIS ABILITY TO GUARD THE EGGS AND BY KEEPING IT WET EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF URINATING IT.

6. AROWANA OCCUPIED THE NO.6 MOST PROTECTIVE ANIMAL DADS. AS YOU HAVE SEEN FROM THE VIDEO THE FEMALE AROWANA LAYS THE EGGS AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE MALE AROWANA SWALLOW THE EGGS. IF YOU ARE THINK THAT THE MALE AROWANA ATE THE EGGS, YOU ARE WRONG. THE MALE AROWANA INCUBATE THE EGGS AND AFTER A FEW MONTHS HE WILL SPIT IT OUT. MIND YOU THE FATHER AROWANA ARE UNABLE TO EAT BECAUSE OF THE INCUBATION PROCESS AND RELIED HEAVILY ON THE FATS STORED IN HIS BODY.
5. SEAHORSE LANDED AT NO.5 - IN THIS FILE VIDEO, WE HAVE BOTH NOTICED THE SEAHORSE GIVING BIRTH AND RIGHT AWAY IT COMES TO OUR MIND THAT IT IS A FEMALE SEAHORSE BUT IN REALITY IT IS THE MALE SEAHORSE. HOW IT HAPPENS?
DURING THE MATING SEASON THE FEMALE TRANSFER THE EGGS TO THE POUCH LIKE CONTAINER INSIDE THE BODY OF THE MALE SEAHORSE UNTIL SUCH A TIME HE WILL GIVE BIRTH TO IT.
MY HORIZON BECOMES WIDER AND LONGS FOR MORE TO SEE HOW THESE WONDERFUL ANIMALS TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE FAMILY AND HOW THE FATHER REACTS IN TIMES DANGER. EVEN IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM WE CAN LEARN AND UNDERSTAND THE CLEARER PICTURE OF THE ROLE OF THE FATHER.
4. FATHER FLAMINGO CONQUER THE NO.4 SPOT. THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIBE MALE FLAMINGO AS LOVING HUSBAND AND CARING FATHER. THEY CONGREGATE IN FLOCKS THAT CAN NUMBER IN HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS BUT GENERALLY THEY REMAIN MONOGAMOUS FOR LIFE. A MALE DUTIFULLY FOLLOW HIS SPOUSE'S LEAD IN SELECTING A NESTING SITE AND THEN HELPS IN MAKING OR CONSTRUCTING THE NEST MADE OF MUD. BOTH TAKE TURNS INCUBATING THEIR SINGLE EGG AND SHARE RESPONSIBILITY IN REARING THE HATCHLING. CONSTRUCTION
AS THE COUNTDOWN NARROWING DOWN, I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE STILL ANIMAL DADS OUT THERE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE LIST. BUT THIS ARTICLE ONLY TACKLES TOP 10 POSITIONS.
3. GOLDEN LION TAMARIN SHOOTING FOR NO.3 SLOT. IT IS A SMALL MONKEY NATIVE TO THE EASTERN RAINFOREST OF BRAZIL. THIS TINY BUT HIGHLY SOCIABLE CREATURES CAPTIVATED MY ATTENTION AS A FATHER. AFTER THE FEMALE GOLDEN LION TAMARIN GAVE BIRTH, THE YOUNG TAMARIN CLINGS TO THE BACK OF THE MALE TAMARIN CARRYING THEM EVERYWHERE THE FAMILY GOES.
I WAS PRIVILEGED TO WATCH A DOCUMENTARY FILM ABOUT HOW PENQUINS ARE MADE NARRATED IN FILIPINO. IT WAS A VERY TOUCHING STORY OF LIFE'S STRUGGLE AND SURVIVAL. THE STORY OF THE PENGUINS HOW YOU ARE MADE GIVES US WISDOM TO RESPECT FOR LIFE.
2. DAD PENGUIN HOLDS THE NO.2 TOP SPOT. THE FEMALE PENGUIN LAYS THE EGG THEN SHE WILL CAREFULLY PASS IT ON THE MALE PENGUIN FOR INCUBATION. THE EGG STAY FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS IN THE CARE OF THE FATHER UNTIL IT FINALLY HATCHED. AS BOTH OF THEM AWAITS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL RETURN OF THE MOTHER HUNTING FOR FOOD.
1. THE WINNINGEST OF ALL IS DADDY FOX. LEGENDARY KNOWN FOR HIS INTELLIGENCE REPUTATION. ONE OF THE FIERCEST ANIMAL, BEST SCAVENGER AND SOLITARY HUNTER.
DADDY FOX IS ALWAYS ON THE GO HUNTING AND SCAVENGING AND LOOK FOR SOMETHING TO EAT THEN BRINGING THE BACON TO HIS FAMILY WAITING FOR HIS RETURN.
THAKS FOR THESE ANIMALS WHO TAUGHT US TO A LOVING, CARING AND PROTECTIVE FATHERS. HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL FATHER!
