No, emperor penguins do not have a pouch. Pouches are a feature found in marsupials, where they carry their young. Emperor penguins do not have this adaptation.
Oh, what a delightful question! You see, in the world of emperor penguins, it is the male penguins who have the special brood pouch. It's like a cozy pocket where they keep their precious eggs warm and safe until they hatch. Nature has such wonderful ways of caring for its creatures, don't you think?

The male and female with court for several days. The female will eventually transfer her eggs into the males pouch, where they will grow for 45 days.
Female seahorses don't have a pouch; they just have eggs. The males have a pouch where the female deposits up to 2,000 eggs. Biologists think seahorses developed the pouch as a way to ensure the species survives. For example, if a female had all the eggs and had to bear offspring, all the babies could die if she got eaten. If a male gets eaten, the most offspring lost is up to 2,000 eggs. But there are always other males that can mate with the female who has the eggs to deposit.
Yes. The males have nothing to do with rearing of young koala joeys.
The males have a brown patch of fur on their upper legs and groin area. It is the glands where the male gives off its scent for marking family territory. The females, not needing to mark their territory (hence the need for a mate), do not have these glands or fur coloration.
