The seahorse is a fish not a horse, it is a collective name for several small fish species in the order Troutidae, no more than 30 cm in length, mainly distributed in the Atlantic, Europe, Pacific, Australia and other places.

Seahorses are fishes not horses

In terms of giving birth, the seahorse can definitely be said to be alone in the world: the seahorse couple divides labor and cooperates, the seahorse mother is responsible for concentrating on raising eggs, and the seahorse father is responsible for "pregnancy and childbirth" after mating is completed, which greatly enhances the breeding ability of the seahorse family, and can basically achieve "three times a year", which is really very productive.

So, why does Father Seahorse spoil his wife so much?

Survival rate of the small hippocampus

Therefore, in the process of evolution for tens of millions of years, the seahorse father evolved a "nursery bag", which can cooperate with the seahorse mother to share the burden of "pregnancy and childbirth" during the limited estrus period every year, so that the seahorse mother does not have to spend time and energy on "pregnancy and childbirth", but concentrates on cultivating eggs, which can be cycled many times during a estrus period, and the efficiency is very high.

Hippocampus Daddy Parenting

In order to ensure that the rhythm of "egg breeding" and "pregnancy and childbirth" is basically the same, the seahorse has formed a "monogamous system". It also makes the hippocampus the only animal on earth to have offspring from its father.
