Happy Father’s Day! Here’s one of the most special fathers of the (underwater) world: the seahorse. Male seahorses are unique because they are basically the only species where the males are the ones getting pregnant and giving birth.
“Male seahorses have a pouch where females deposit their eggs. Once deposited, the male fertilizes the eggs and incubates them for a period of up to 45 days, until they emerge as fully developed little seahorses. Seahorse fathers even experience contractions as they give birth”.
