During my trips to the N.T. and northern Qld back in the 70's you found it very hard to see a croc in the wild, these days it's very hard not to see several them and now in places that they were never seen before. Since they stopped hunting them they are no longer scared of humans ,theres more of them and they are bigger.I think i saw on tv that 8people have been eaten by croks this year so far. |

Not quite, Julie -- if I've got it right. The female transfers the goods to the male, who raises them. |

Not quite, Julie -- if I've got it right. The female transfers the You got it right Jim:) The male seahorse is equipped with a pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side of the tail. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the eggs for 9 to 45 days until the seahorses emerge fully developed, but very small. Once the young are released into the water, the male's role is done and he offers no further care and often mates again within hours or days during the breeding season. rOZZ Music Pictures |

Male looks after the young 'uns while the female has a night out. Sounds about right :) Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. |
