janai: hey there, i'm janai norman. get ready to take a deep dive into the wild to discover some of the earth's cutest creatures. this is "oh baby!". today we're splashing aroundrtsr babies, like these raucous wave-riders with a serious need for speed. and along the riverbanks, we'll meet the wetlands' best environmental engineers. plus, a unique island native with an unusual aversion to heights. but first, there's a talented tightrope walker tiptoeing across their watery terrain. all of this and so much more right here on "oh baby!".

the morning. some just can't get enough of their wonderfully wet morning in the wild. how about a bit of splashing to get mom in the fun... ...or some friendly water wrestling. these jacana chicks prefer aiz g a good breakfast. when they've grown a bit more, they'll be able to copy their parents' ballet-like balancing act using lily pads to dance across the water. these ducklings prefer to keep their feet under the water for some pond-side paddling races. higher up off the water, some ibis chicks are eagerly awaiting their morning meal from mom.
