I believe many people have seen this creature from the animal world when they were young. This creature is different from what we usually know about animals, and its reproduction mode is very strange.

Because father seahorse has a special organ, it is usually mother seahorse who sends her eggs to father seahorse's pouch during mating season. Let the mother's egg combine with the father's sperm, form a fertilized egg in the nursing bag, and be nourished by the nursing bag, and finally grow into a small hippocampus. Therefore, the little hippocampus can be regarded as the birth of the father, but the birth of the little hippocampus is still inseparable from the role of the mother hippocampus, and it needs the eggs of the mother hippocampus to finally develop. Therefore, although the baby hippocampus is not born from the mother hippocampus, the mother hippocampus still plays the role of mother.

Nature is so wonderful that a special species-hippocampus has been formed. They can be regarded as the only species in the world whose father bears the responsibility of bearing children. These seahorse fathers also experienced the pain of pregnancy and delivery for 10 months.
