It’s going to be a busy Father’s Day for a weedy sea dragon at the Georgia Aquarium. For only the third time ever in a U.S. aquarium, one of the endangered creatures is pregnant. But don’t look for the expectant mom in the tank, the dads carry the eggs in this family.

The odd fish looks much like a Dr. Seuss character with a long aardvark-like snout, colorful sea horse body and multiple paddle-like fins. The Australia natives are only exhibited in about 50 aquariums worldwide.

The sea dragon is a protected species in New South Wales and Tasmania.
