There are several species of shorebird in North America in which the male is the primary caregiver to the young.
In spotted sandpipers, red-necked and red phalaropes the female mates with a male, lays eggs, and then takes off in search of another mate, leaving the male to care for the young.
In others, like mountain plover and sanderlings, the female lays one batch of eggs that is raised by the male, and then another that she raises herself.
In northern jacanas, the female lays eggs with several males, and contributes somewhat to the raising of all of the broods, but the individual males are generally responsible for raising the young.
There are some populations of Harris hawks, and acorn woodpeckers that will consist of one female and several males all raising a big, mixed parentage brood of young together.

There are two creatures that come to mind:
The Sea Horse and the Penguin.
With Sea Horses, the male is actually the one that gives birth to the kids.
In certain species of penguins, the male endures a gauntlet of babysitting, sitting on the egg, keeping it warm until the egg hatches, in several weeks.

Emus and rheas. The male mates with many females who lay their eggs in one nest. The male incubates the eggs and looks after the young.
Moundbuilders - mallee fowl and scrub turkeys in Australia. The male builds a mound of leaves and other vegetable matter. The female lays an egg in the mound and that's her duty finished. The male tends the mound keeping the temperature right until the eggs hatch.
While male emperor penguins look after the egg until it hatches, the female does her share as well once the chick has hatched. Many birds including all the other penguin species share incubating and feeding duties.

Rodents such as Rats/Gerbils the males also take responsibility in taking care of the young.
Such as cleaning the nest/babies,as well as collecting up the young and also keeps the young warm whist the female feeds or has water.

That's the case for many species of callitrichid monkeys.
