Do male seahorses have eggs?
Not exactly. When courting, the female seahorse deposites her unfertilized eggs into the male's abdominal pouch. The brood pouch is a special, uterus-like pouch on the mal…e's "belly," where the male seahorse's body fertilizes, incubates and provides the eggs with prolactin (their food). The eggs hatch inside the male's brood pouch, and after anywhere from 9 to 45 days (depending on the species) the pouch ruptures, and the father releases the fry (babies) into the ocean to fend for themselves. So, the male seahorse carries eggs, but he does not lay them, since they hatch inside of him.

Why do male seahorses get pregnant and not the female?
The female produces the eggs in her body. They are passed to themale's pouch during mating where he inseminates them and they areincubated. Over time they developed the pouch …to protect the eggsuntil they are born. As for why the males adapted the pouch ratherthan the females, the male reproductive organs are mostly internalin fish (if you look male fish, you don't really see a visiblepenis). If the female had the pouch he wouldn't be able to reach inand inseminate them, so they would have needed to develop a way topass them back to the female after insemination. Having the maledevelop the pouch made it so that the eggs are only vulnerable toattack from predatory fish and other dangers once rather thantwice. Since fish don't have an actual penis, it was simpler tohave the male develop a pouch than it would have been to completelychange the anatomy of the male sexual organs.
