EDITORS COMMENTS
Underwater Superdad! Meet the Male fifteen spined stickleback, fiercely guarding its hidden nest in the crystal-clear waters of Shetland Islands. This little fish may be small, but it's got a big responsibility on its fins! With his vibrant yellow color and impressive spines, this stickleback is not to be messed with. He takes his parental duties seriously, standing guard over his precious eggs like a true superhero. Even though we can't see the nest in this photo print, we can imagine it's a cozy underwater haven. In the world of marine parenting, this stickleback sets an example for all dads out there. His dedication and protective nature are truly admirable. No wonder he's considered one of Europe's finest fathers! The picturesque backdrop of Scotland's temperate seas adds an extra touch of beauty to this image captured by Alex Mustard as part of 2020VISION project. It reminds us that even in our busy human lives, nature never fails to surprise us with its incredible wonders. So next time you feel overwhelmed by your own responsibilities, take inspiration from our aquatic friend here – after all, if a tiny fish can be such an amazing dad, surely we can rise up to any challenge!
