Male seahorses do not get pregnant! They do not produce the eggs themselves. They receive the egg from the female brood pouch (egg sac). The male then carries the egg pouch in a pocket (like a kangaroo). He may or may not fertilize the eggs right away.It is all depends on the environmental stresses and threat levels from predators.The male may wait weeks before fertilizing the eggs so as to ensure that the offspring hatch at a time when their chances for survival are greatest. When the male seahorses ejects them from his pocket, the young are fully formed small versions of the adults and must defend themselves. The parents do not have any part in their offspring lives after birth.
This is not a copy and paste work. It is original.

ReplyDeleteImpressive! I have never known this all my life. A wonderful creation by God. This is a very interesting post. A male seahorse reproduces it's offspring. The process throughout before it 'produce the babies' is very interesting and informative.
