It’s role reversal time as the female seahorse deposits eggs into a pouch on the male’s abdomen. The male then releases sperm into the pouch, fertilizing the eggs. The embryos develop within the male’s pouch, nourished by their individual yolk sacs. After the embryos have developed, the male gives birth to tiny seahorses.
