"Daddy makes babies, Daddy hatches them." As the only animal on Earth that produces offspring by males, it could definitely top the list if the animal kingdom had a model father competition, and that animal is - the seahorse.

The breeding season for seahorses occurs from May-August each year, during which time the mother seahorse lays her eggs in a brood pouch on the abdomen of the father seahorse. After 50-60 days, baby seahorses are born from these eggs.

After the husband is "pregnant", his body becomes very clumsy and his movements are very slow, and he occasionally sticks to a piece of seaweed and cannot get out of it for a few days.

Besides foraging for food, the mama seahorse spends most of her time by the side of her "pregnant" husband. When they return from foraging, the couple's body color changes from pale brown to milky yellow due to their joy!

On long journeys, female and male seahorses will keep their tails tightly entwined, tail to tail, and there is something uniquely sweet about an ordinary day.
