Tables . . . turned!

Did you know …

That in some species, it’s the male parent that gives birth? It’s true!

Sea horses, hyenas (spotted and striped), pygmy elephants, stone fish, and eastern brown bats all have male pregnancies and births. What good fathers, huh? Actually, not really; after a baby or larvae is forced through the birth canal, the father’s penis is typically so damaged that he dies of shock, or, at the very least, resents his child for the rest of its life.
