It might look like this yellowhead jawfish bit off more than it could chew, but it's actually carrying eggs! 😳 This curious behavior is called mouthbrooding, a strategy where parents keep eggs (and sometimes newly hatched fry) in—you guessed it—their mouths. There are three types: paternal, maternal and biparental mouthbrooders, depending on whether it’s the father, mother or both who store offspring in their mouths. Mouthbrooding is just one of many creative ways animals have evolved to care for their young and ensure the greatest chance of survival! 💯​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ 📸 = @andrejohnsonphoto
