Seahorses are unique in the animal kingdom because it is the male seahorses that give birth to their offspring, not the females. The female seahorse deposits her eggs into the male's brood pouch, where they are fertilized and develop until they are ready to be born. The male then goes through a process of contractions to release fully formed baby seahorses, known as fry. This incredible reproductive strategy is a fascinating adaptation that sets seahorses apart from other creatures in the ocean.
