Origami Creations - Nature's Best Animal Dad

Watching "Awesome Animal Dads" is very reassuring ... being a Daddy myself.  

How some Dad's really go to great lengths to nurture his babies.  

Watch this:

And yes, to top it all, the seahorse carries the babies to full term (yup, getting pregnant) and delivering them.

Daddy Extraordinaire

I have folded me a pregnant Daddy here.  This is a design by the famous japanese origamist Gen Hagiwara.

I'm still in awe for the seahorse ... thinking how human mommy's would be so very happy if they can share the pregnancy with their hubbies :-). 

Ouch ... this I don't think I can muster to do.

Origami Creations - Maekawa Seahorse (海馬)

I chance upon another wonderful design by the famous japanese origamist Jun Maekawa.  It is his seahorse.

I am very impressed by this artist as his works are very fun and exciting to fold.  I have wrote about him before here.  It was with regards to his wonderful squid design.

Same with the squid, his seahorse design is simple yet surprisingly unique and beautiful.  

With awesome ear flaps.

Now with the real thing!

Please do try it.  You may find the diagram on the 19th Tanteidan Convention book.

Have a great week!
