The truth about 'Finding Nemo': Marlin's paw will be transgender soon after the mother's fish dies

Science has recently pointed out an unexpected truth about the clownfish and it can crush the classic "Finding Nemo" cartoon that every child likes.

Have you seen Finding Nemo (Looking for Nemo) ? It was one of Pixar's most highly acclaimed hit animated films, and perhaps many of us had a chance to enjoy it.

The film tells the story of a loving father, the clownfish Marlin , and the adventure of finding the lost son, Nemo.

Caring for a small egg, Marlin's love for Nemo is a beautiful story about motherhood.

In it, the most "expensive" detail in the movie may appear from the beginning, when Marlin's wife is attacked by a barracuda and steals all the eggs, leaving only Nemo alone. Carrying the wife's will, Marlin lived in a "child-rearing rooster" , always wrapping Nemo away from the "mundane" ocean full of dangers outside.

However, the story turned out not to be very romantic in the eyes of scientists. Because recently, they have pointed out a fact that can destroy this classic movie: Nemo's father Marlin will "transgender" after his wife's death.

But the truth is that Nemo's father Marlin will "transgender" after his wife's death.

This conclusion was made by experts from Exeter University (UK). Specifically, in real life, when the clown fish dies, male clown fish will immediately transgender completely, maybe even spawn.

That means that if it is, Nemo will have a mother. Not to mention, Marlin will then pair with the younger clownfish to ensure maintaining the breed.

That means that if it is, Nemo will have a mother.

To get this conclusion, the team studied the behavior and level of hormonal changes of clownfish for many years in France.

"Clownfish often never move away from their habitat. Female clowns are always larger in size, so they will take care of the hunt and protect the eggs. When the female dies, the male will change the gender into Suzanne Mills, evolutionary biologist at the Island and Environmental Research Center (CRIOBE), said in a statement.

"That is when the Nemo reunited with his father, actually, the boy met his mother again," she shared humorously.

It is known that clown fish are small but not gentle animals. In a pair of fish, the male clown will take care of the eggs, while the female will take care of the eggs. They even willing to attack sharks to protect their small families.

When maternal fish die, the transgender process of male fish will take place for several weeks, requiring huge hormonal changes. After that, the biggest male fish in the living area will become the new "husband" , helping "wife" continue to lay eggs.

"In nature, clownfish need to protect the nest in pairs. They need to rely on each other to survive and reproduce, which is the reason for transgender" - Ricardo Beldade - another researcher at CRIOBE.

However, knowing the truth, hope that you will not be so hated by this movie. Anyway, Finding Nemo is still a really good movie.
