We trust you've already called your dad/grandfather/brother/friends today to wish them a Happy Father's Day (hi, Dad!). If you have, then it's time to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo blog, which rounds up some of its cutest animal dads.

Jethro the European White Stork recently welcomed five chicks with his mate Cheyenne. The pair had one chick in 2011 and three in 2010.

Other fathers include Tanner the red wolf, who has fathered 21 pups and lives with his two daughters at the Zoo, and Bolivian gray titi monkey Ocala, who has eight children and carries them around within days after they're born.
