Take a look at some of the weird and wonderful parental behaviour that exists in nature in this fascinating short video from BBC wildlife show 'Battle of the Sexes in the Animal World'. Witness the male Blue Chromis fish standing guard against his newly fertilised eggs in an attempt to ward off vast gangs of pseudo catfish, and mother Cichlids protecting her young in her mouth.
