Rarer still, they are among the only animal species on Earth in which the male bears the unborn young.

But there was a person with a mustache, no tits and a uterus that called itself a man that got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby naturally via his vagina.

'Pregnant Man' Gives Birth to Girl

Now THAT should get the 'Lie of the Year' award.

The University of Michigan Biology Department has developed a new hybrid fish.
It seems they have cross-bred the Coho Salmon (for its delicious flesh) with the Walleye Pike (for its endurance) and the muskellunge (or “muskie” for its size and fighting spirit).

The new breed is called the “COWALSKI” and all that remains before releasing it to the Great Lakes is to teach the dumb SOB to SWIM.

However, worldwide coastal habitat depletion, pollution, and rampant harvesting, mainly for use in Asian traditional medicine, have made several species vulnerable to extinction.

Sea Horse, do you smoke it like vulure brains?

When mating, the female deposits her eggs into his pouch, and the male fertilizes them internally.

Sorta' takes all the fun out of it, doesn't it?

Thanks JoeProBono.
When mating, the female deposits her eggs into his pouch, and the male fertilizes them internally. He carries the eggs in his pouch until they hatch, then releases fully formed, miniature seahorses into the water. Because of their body shape, seahorses are rather inept swimmers and can easily die of exhaustion when caught in storm-roiled seas... They anchor themselves with their prehensile tails to sea grasses and corals, using their elongated snouts to suck in plankton and small crustaceans that drift by. Voracious eaters, they graze continually and can consume 3,000 or more brine shrimp per day.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Do they have trouble parallel parking as well?
