Seahorse Dads Get Pregnant
Posted By Zoe Delphy On January 24, 2008
Did you know that male seahorses compete against each other to get pregnant ? Strangely enough unlike most species it’s not the female who gets pregnant but the male. Now in order to attract a female the male seahorse wrestles with other male seahorses to show its strength.
He also opens and closes his pouch to show that he wants to get pregnant. He fills this pouch with water and then ejects it with as much force as he can to show that he will know what to do when the time comes to give birth. Seahorses remain pregnant for three weeks, undergo labor for 72 hours and finally manage to release 200 babies at a time.

The why is unexplained, they are just made that way, thats the reproductive process given to that species. We can observe the reality but there really is not an explanation of why.
Sea Horses are so Unique
Dad seahorses are the one’s that carry the the eggs because male pregnacy allows for shorter birthing intervals,hence more offspring.
