If you’re a seahorse that is. Not only are seahorses an animal that mates for life, turns out in this sea-faring family it’s the guys who get pregnant and give birth to the young. Male seahorses have a brood pouch where females deposit their eggs. He then fertilizes the eggs and incubates them for a period up to 45 days, when they emerge as fully developed little seahorses. The new seahorse fathers even experience muscular contractions as they give birth. Seahorses get big when preggers—they can deliver 100 to 200 babies in one go. 
The fact that the males carry and give birth is just mind-blowing. 100-200 babies at once? Talk about an amazing dad! 
Nature is full of surprises!
