If you have a male scorp giving birth then you got the gender wrong, only animals I know of where males give birth are seahorses.

Reading that made me sad.

It is a male and is incapable of giving birth because it is male.
It was necessary to type this sentence.

They do indeed "give birth," but after the female deposits the eggs in a pouch where he fertilized them. Semantics though, bless you for posting this either way. Maybe the confusion stemmed from a recently viewed documentary on sea horses. Yes, that's what I choose to believe.

Hey the eggs are fertilised in the male and they come out of a tiny hole close as any male will ever come 🤷🏻‍♀️

Parthenogenesis - Greek (Parthenos / Genesis ) translates to English (Virgin Creation)

Embryo occurs directly from an Unfertilized Egg.

Nature finds a way.
