When the families of most of these waterfowl travel, they usually travel in a line and the fathers are usually the ones guarding the offspring at the end of the line while the mothers lead the way. The female seahorse (Hippocampus) deposits eggs into the pouch on the males abdomen. The male releases sperm into the pouch, fertilizing the eggs. The embryos develop within the males pouch, nourished by their individual yolk sacs. Male catfish keep their eggs in their mouth, foregoing eating until they hatch. Male emperor penguins alone incubate their eggs; females do no incubation. Rather than building a nest, each male protects his egg by balancing it on the tops of his feet, enclosed in a special brood pouch. Once the eggs are hatched however, the females will rejoin the family. Male beavers secure their offspring along with the females during their first few hours of their lives. As the young beavers mature, their fathers will teach them how to search for materials to build and repair their own dams, before they disperse to find their own mates. Wolf fathers help feed, protect, and play with their pups. In some cases, several generations of wolves live in the pack, giving pups the care of grandparents, aunts/uncles, and siblings, in addition to parents. The father wolf is also the one who does most of the hunting when the females are securing their newborn pups. Coyotes are monogamous and male coyotes hunt and bring food to their young.
Hashimotos encephalopathy, also known as steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT), is a neurological condition characterized by encephalopathy, thyroid autoimmunity, and good clinical response to corticosteroids. It is associated with Hashimotos thyroiditis, and was first described in 1966. It is sometimes referred to as a neuroendocrine disorder, although the conditions relationship to the endocrine system is widely disputed. It is recognized as a rare disease by the NIH Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center.Up to 2005, almost 200 case reports of this disease were published. Between 1990 and 2000, 43 cases were published. Since that time, research has expanded and numerous cases are being reported by scientists around the world, suggesting that this rare condition is likely to have been significantly undiagnosed in the past. Over 100 scientific articles on Hashimotos encephalopathy were published between 2000 and 2013. Signs and symptoms
The onset of symptoms tends to be fairly gradual and to occur over 1-12 years.Symptoms of Hashimotos encephalopathy may include:
Personality changes
Aggression
Delusional behavior
Concentration and memory problems
Coma
Disorientation
Headaches
Jerks in the muscles (myoclonus – 65% of cases)
Lack of coordination (ataxia – 65% of cases)
Partial paralysis on the right side
Psychosis
Seizures (60% of cases)
Sleep abnormalities (55% of cases)
Speech problems (transient aphasia – 80% of cases)
Status epilepticus (20% of  cases)
Tremors (80% of cases)

Pathogenesis
The mechanism of pathogenesis is not known, but is thought to be an autoimmune disorder, similar to Hashimotos thyroiditis, as its name suggests.Consistent with this hypothesis, autoantibodies to alpha-enolase have been found to be associated with Hashimotos encephalopathy.
