有什么动物有着比人类更糟糕的分娩方式吗？

Is there an animal that has a worse childbirth than humans?

Davide Fiore

The hard labor, the pushing, the expulsion: this is a gif of the happy event of one of the animal world's most present and caring fathers: the male seahorse (yes, it is the seahorse father that give birth, in a rare natural case of male pregnancy).
这是这是有一张动图：它是如今动物界最富关爱心的爸爸：雄性海马。它正在进行一项辛苦的工作，将孩子奋力推出身体。（这句子直接翻译也太怪了？）（是的，海马爸爸生孩子，是自然界非常罕见的，雄性怀孕生子的现象。）

During mating, the female lays eggs in a special incubator pouch located in the male's belly.
在海马交配时，雌性将卵子产再雄性腹部特殊的孵化袋里。

The partner fertilizes and houses them for the duration of the larval stage, which ends after about 28 days.
在28天的幼年期，父亲喂养他们，给他们住所。

Birth occurs about a week later: in a series of rhythmic and violent contractions, reminiscent of those of human birth, the fish expels 20 to 1,000 miniature hippocampi, about 7 millimeters long.
出生大约一周后，伴随着一系列有节奏的，猛烈的子宫收缩，让人想起人的出生，海马将长约7毫米的小海马，生了出来。

“Loyal” creatures.
忠诚的生物。

The absolute faithfulness of seahorses was discovered by a group of researchers at the University of Melbourne a few years ago.
海马的这种绝对忠诚，几年前被墨尔本大学的一批研究院员发现。

Among the more than 50 pairs of seahorses kept under observation for 135 days by Laila Sadler and her research team, there was not a single case of cheating.
在观察研究超过50对海马夫妻，长达135天后，丽莎和她的团队发现，他们并没有单独的欺骗行为。

Every morning male and female would meet shortly after sunrise always in the same spot and spend a few moments together.
每天早上日出后不久，雄海马和雌海马总会在特定的地方见面，并一起度过一段时光。

As soon as the pregnancy was over they would pair up again. The only cases of changing partners occurred following the death of the "spouse."
当孕期结束，他们就会再次交配。只有伴侣死亡，他们才会更换伴侣。
