Re: Devoted animal couples
Sea Horses
The males can appear to get off very lightly in the process of giving birth across the whole animal kingdom, but there is just one little exception, one so sweet and charming it makes you smile. The role of male seahorses is truly an admirable one. After elaborate courtship rituals, the female deposits her eggs in a pouch in the male’s tail, where he carries them for the whole stages of development. As the foetuses mature, the bodily fluids inside the sac are gradually replaced by saltwater. Once the change is complete, the babies are expelled into the sea and left alone to completely fend for themselves. The parents once again, start a new family immediately.
