An underwater photographer captured the exact moment when a female seahorse transfers her eggs to the male, who will incubate them until they hatch.

Seahorses are monogamous and among the animals that show love for their partner in the most tender ways. At sunrise, they are so happy to see each other that they dance for over five minutes.

With their tails intertwined, they greet each other with a “good morning,” changing their colors to more vibrant shades. Throughout the day, they swim side by side, exchange affectionate gestures, blush, and make up after quarrels.

They love enjoying life and good food: they can eat more than three thousand shrimp a day. They are the only species in which the male gives birth after incubating the eggs that the female lays in his pouch. They love each other forever.
