RuralExplorer78921, there's an entire museum dedicated to seahorses on the Big Island of Hawaii near Kona. you can stick on hand in the tank feed them and theyll wrap their tails around your finger.

A male seahorse carries the eggs deposited by the female in his pouch. He does not get pregnant
Nutshell
LoriB857, so a woman who has another woman's fertilized egg implanted in her, is not pregnant? Odd. They've always looked pregnant to me.
My point being, your body doesn't need to produce the egg for you to be pregnant or give birth.

too bad more species don't do that

Everyone get a grip. It's about seahorses, not humans and their societal ills, and sicknesses.and ignorances

Player #11146724, the eggs are fertilized when in the pouch, not before. Therefore, it IS the male that gets pregnant.
Flac
Wrong choice of word "pregnant". Carry the babies in their pouch!

So glad I wasn’t born a seahorse.

LoriB857, yes he does get pregnant. How else would he give birth

Papi, A placenta is formed, and his body nourishes the young. That is beyond being a mere incubator.

MALE pipe fish, leafy sea dragons,AAAAND sea dragons carry female's eggs until they hatch. The male of these 3 species DON'T GET PREGNANT.

Article in 2015 of a study done by the University of Sydney discusses how male seahorses provide more than just a brood pouch that holds the eggs. They also give nutrients, protection from diseases (immune system), and a few other things. Since that was 8 years ago, more could have been discovered that either refuted or confirmed what this study discovered. Just putting this out there

LoriB857, you're correct. I don't know why they didn't check their facts.
Player #125843019
Seahorses are small fish NOT fishes very bad grammatically.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! What a weird, wonderful world this is. I did not know this (and I'm nearly 50yrs old). Absolutely fascinating 😲

No wonder I love sea horses.

Nutshell, The egg in a woman is assimilated and the body becomes essential for nutrients, oxygen and other necessities for life. The male seahorse is simply a protective pouch while gestation occurs within the egg much like a kangaroos pouch. Big difference. Face it. Male and females have naturally different and gender specific roles.
Mouse
Nutshell, far different than a human uterus accepting an egg being implanted
Mouse
Nutshell, she lays eggs in the pouch of the male.
Mouse
Nutshell, and is only used in place of a cave because they don't live near such an area so they've evolved the ability to hold eggs. the female is impregnated by the male and instead of laying eggs on a rock
