Pipefish (SYNGNATHIDAE)

Above: Unidentified yet. The common Sea Horse (Hippocampus kuda) is of the pipefish family and share the same unique reproduction attributes where the female brings the eggs and deposits them in the male. Thus, the male gets pregnant and gives birth to the young who are immediately independent and on their own after that. Pipefish partnerships, unlike growing human divorce rates, are for life.
