What is unusual about the seahorse?
|
Apart from its curious shape, the seahorse is unusual because it is the male and not the female who looks after the eggs and young. He has a brood pouch on his belly, and this can hold up to 200 eggs and young. When the young are old enough, the male expels them from the pouch.
