Exactly my point Ceadus need to give birth due to the fact that they can no longer go on land. Also like Democide pointed out whales defend their offspring and few predators will get between a full-grown adult and her calf and an adult Ceadus would be many times more feirce than any whale, they have huge horns and jaws filled with huge teeth/jaw protrusions the size of an adult male human along with that extremely large and powerful water beam. Why would a young Ceadus need to hide when you have a guardian like that ??? On the subject of the beard while it could be used as a neck-warmer it still could be an added perk that the dragons use to attract members of the opposite sex along with the bioluminescence and horns.
