Can you name an animal species in which the males care for their young?

Answer 1

In zoology the care of the male is called "parental care". There are several example of parental care.Since you have asked for one species it would be better to name Hippocampus( sea horse) in which the male has a brood pouch in which eggs are kept and the young emerge out of the pore.

Answer 2

Male Seahorses don't just care for the young they actually germinate inside him and he gives birth after the female deposits her eggs in his pouch.Many male animals help care for the young,almost all bird species do,and most mammals do.As far as lions go the male mainly protects them from other male lions that would kill them if they had half the chance.In almost all wild dog species the male and female feed and care for the pups and are played with by both.In allot of cases the young would knot survive without the presence of the male to protect them.Usually in animals where the male has nothing to do with caring for them the female abandons them soon after weening as in Mink.

See we ant so bad LOL

Answer 3

seahorses, penguins, and some cichlid species have males that at least for a time give exclusive care to the young.
But in almost all species that mate for life (and even most species of birds that don't) share the duty of rearing the offspring.

Answer 4

Almost all male birds help take care of their young, as well as the ever-popular answer of the seahorse. Wolves, bison, coyotes, and I'm fairly sure whales in pods will help out, along with dolphins. Most apes and monkeys will also take care of their young. I'm unsure but I think meerkats and prairie dogs help out too.
Lions are kinda iffy, and will only care for their young up to a certain point.

The animal father with the most emotional attatchment to its young is wolves, I believe. Wolves love puppies, and a male wolf was once observed stealing and taking back to the den a domestic puppy to care for.

Hope this helps

Answer 5

Marmosets. There is frequent twinning in this species so the female mates with many males confusing them into taking care of the young if she produces twin offspring.

Answer 6

Seahorses males hatch out and care for the young. Ostriches - males collect a nest from multiple females and then protect the nest from predators.

Answer 7

One of the most incredible stories of survival is that of the male and female penguin. Watch the movie "March of the Penguins"........It'll facinate you, make you laugh, and make you cry...........I don't know of any other movie that can do that. It is incredible what they endure!!!!!!!!

There are a lot of species in which the fathers care for their young. Seahorses........I would not say that that is caring for their young. Wolves are a good example of mammals in which both parents are active in their youngs up-bringing. There are a lot of bad fathers too. Bears are the one's that stick out in my mind.

Answer 8

I would think of a seashorse cause once the female lays the eggs, the male houses and takes care of them.

And Penguins, the male sits on the egg til it hatches

Answer 9

You can add in your list the gourami. This fish actually incubates the eggs in its mouth so that they won't get eaten by lurking predators. It continues this for while even after the eggs hatch. And during all this time, the male does not eat.

Nice way to lose weight, huh?

Answer 10

ostriches do, swans do if the female dies. Most birds do it pairwise as the young need really a lot to eat.
I think with mammals it is rarer as the young ones drink milk from their mother at the beginning and often male and female come only together to mate.
