Sea Horse
I wonder if this sea horse is a male species and if he is a pregnant one. I never knew they carry their young and deliver it until I did a little more research today. :) Have a nice Sunday, my friends!
Seahorse
Seahorses are truly unique, and not just because of their unusual
equine shape. Unlike most other fish, they are monogamous and mate for
life. Rarer still, they are among the only animal species on Earth in
which the male bears the unborn young.
Found in shallow tropical and temperate waters throughout the world, these upright-swimming relatives of the pipefish can range in size from 0.6 inches (1.5 centimeters) to 14 inches (35 centimeters) long.
Male seahorses are equipped with a brood pouch on their ventral, or front-facing, side. When mating, the female deposits her eggs into his pouch, and the male fertilizes them internally. He carries the eggs in his pouch until they hatch, then releases fully formed, miniature seahorses into the water. From National Geographic Fact Sheet
