Jacana

n. tropical water bird

The Jacanas are a group of tropical waders in the family Jacanidae. They are found worldwide within the tropical zone.They are identifiable by their huge feet and claws which enable them to walk on floating vegetation in the shallow lakes that are their preferred habitat. The females are larger than the males; the latter, as in some other wader families like the phalaropes take responsibility for incubation, and some species (notably the Northern Jacana) are polyandrous. However, adults of both sexes look identical, as with most shorebirds.

Jaçanã, or, more properly, Jaçanã-Tremembé (pron.), is a borough of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. It includes both districts of Jaçanã and Tremembé, in the northern limits of the city.Like Parelheiros, most of the area of this borough is rural, although in the southern areas there is a popular urban area. It comprises the Cantareira Park, the largest native urban forest of the world.In 1870, the borough was known as Uroguapira, because it was thought that there was gold in the place. As it did not pass of a rumor, the name given for the aboriginals for the region of the Cantareira was shortened for Guapira. In 1 June 1930, the borough started to be called Jaçanã (a species of bird).
