I have a thriving population of Fathead Minnows in my garden pond. Every summer, when the water gets warm enough for eggs to incubate, the male Fathead Minnow finds and spruces up a little cave around the water's edge. He then entices a female to come lay eggs in his cave. If she likes him, they dance around just outside the cave, and then she goes in and lays eggs inside. He fertilizes the eggs and protects them with his life. He is not pregnant. It does not matter where the cave is located, it does not mean he is pregnant. Just because the "cave" is inside the seahorse, that doesn't make him pregnant. Claiming a male seahorse is pregnant because of how he protects his spawn is like saying a female kangaroo is pregnant every time the joey climbs back into the pouch.

The seahorse looked like he were sneezing his kids out 😂 cute

Some fish, like the Platy fish we have in our home aquarium, give birth to live young. This is the female giving birth to live young. Live bearers like Platys have a reproductive advantage in a relatively crowded environment with other species (like a fish tank with other species of fish in it). The fry pop out of the mother and can swim to safety. However, one gender is expending the energy. The female has to expend energy avoiding the males who want to mate all of the time. The solution in the home aquarium is to up the number of females for every male so that he is chasing around a lot of girls rather than just one. Wild female platys and other similar live bearer females in natural environments don't get such relief. So, female Platys have to expend energy: 1) avoiding males, 2) producing eggs, and 3) retaining those eggs in their bodies until the fry hatch. The females "blow up" when they are pregnant. They are less streamline, making it cost more energy for them to swim. Energy-wise, all the males have to do is find the females and mate with them. Instead of him searching the gravel or hiding spots for eggs to fertilize like with other fish species, he knows where the eggs he wants are. Hence, he chases the females relentlessly, putting more pressure on the females. He has excess energy. She is struggling to swim well enough so that she can find enough food in her expanding pregnant body. Any energy intensive task she can give to him instead (like egg guarding or even male pregnancy) is going to mean more energy overall goes into producing offspring. With shared responsibilities, you are harnessing both male and female energy instead of only female energy. So, Mrs. Seahorse gets to go eat and fill her body with eggs again before her previous brood in even born. As a result, there are more Seahorses in the world.

I've always been fascinated by seahorses, pipefish, and seadragons. A little trivia for you: in Baltimore, in the 50s and 60s (and maybe longer) seahorses were a secret symbol for lesbians (because it's the males that give birth). There's something you won't see in a John Waters movie.

Humans: my wife is giving birth!! Seahorses: My husbands giving birth!!!

From its appearance more like a reptile to unparalleled reproductive behavior, seahorse is missing nothing for wonder & awe. Very illustrative as usual featuring the latest update in. Grades of paternal care are shown leading up to the most complex one. Yet, evolutionary transition does not look as smooth or straightforward as presented here. Some steps more should be taken to the complex level of male reproductive system. That's the impression from this superb footage. Thank you very much! Next!

Male seahorses are unique among animals in that they get pregnant and give birth to their young. During courtship, female seahorses use a special ovipositor to inject their unfertilized eggs into the male's brood pouch, which is located on his tail. So yes, scientifically he IS giving birth as well as fertilizing them.

"pregnant" is a gender-specific term according Oxford or Cambridge dictionary whose definition goes "women or female animals having .." What male seahorse is doing is beyond description! (No offense intended.)

No wonder I love all sorts of nature❤. Air, earth, sea!

Male sticklebacks, relatives of the sygnathids, do guard the eggs.

It’s El Mago’s fault that the seahorse’s level of parenting has been altered!

Technically, no, since pregnant mammals have a placenta to provide the unborn offspring with nutrients which doesn't happen with seahorses. Even though seahorses carry and birth live young, they don't qualify as mammals.

​@@jorocwhy are people who have no idea what they're talking about always so confident? the 'female' organs of a flower are the carpels. they produce ovules, which become seeds when fertilized. the 'male' organ of a flowering plant is the stamen- it produces pollen, which fertilizes the ovules. some flowers, like flax and lilies, have both stamen and carpels. they have 'two genders'. even in cases where the flower has only one of the two reproductive organs, the plant that flower grows on usually has both 'male' and 'female' flowers. there are also animals that literally have two genders. many sea slugs are hermaphrodites and will do the deed with both parts simultaneously. this has been a useless explanation of why a two year old comment was wrong. thank you for coming to my ted talk

I think somebody is just giving the wrong names to the sea horses just for the sake to say that male can be pregnant too. What makes a female sea horse female? Is not the ability to carry new life? Also, the “female” sea horse is dropping eggs, where are those eggs fertilized?

...what? by that logic, only mammals, marsupials, and a handful of reptiles/sharks are female. other animals don't carry their eggs inside their bodies until they're fertilized and develop into live young. they either eject the eggs and fertilize them outside of their body, like most fish, or fertilize them inside their body and let them develop outside of their body, like birds. the female creates the eggs. the male fertilizes them. what male seahorses do is kinda like if male birds had kangaroo pouches and kept their eggs there after the female laid them.

This confirms they don't give birth to them they hold them in their pouches/pockets until they hatch. Giving birth and holding them in a pocket are two different things.

The eggs are inserted into the male where they are then fertilized, and are hatched INSIDE the male, until he gives birth to them. How is that not giving birth?
