Happy Father's Day.

Father's Day, annually honors committed human dads. But seahorse fathers might just blow those proud papas out of the water.

Seahorses are a type of fish in which the males actually get "pregnant." The female seahorse deposits her eggs in the male's specialized pouch, and the male carries up to 2,000 babies during its 10- to 25-day pregnancy.

Once deposited, the male fertilizes the eggs and incubates them,
until they emerge as fully developed little seahorses. Seahorse fathers even experience contractions as they give birth.
