FUN FACT - Seahorse Male Pregnancy

Seahorse Male Pregnancy

Did you know seahorse males give birth lay eggs???

So, in a nutshell. Male seahorses compete with each other to become pregnant for three weeks (during which time they cannot move around to search for the best food), go through 72 hours of labour and exhausting final contractions to release up to 200 baby seahorses. During this process the natural colour of the male seahorse drains from his body and he becomes white and pasty looking. The experience (yes, we have it on film) looks painful and I cannot imagine that he would want to experience a baby seahorse birth again. But, after a very short time, sometimes only hours, the male starts showing off his pouch, begging to be pregnant again.

    Males don’t lay eggs or they would be female…

    They get the eggs from the female and later give birth to baby seahorses (not eggs).
