The male seahorse has a breeding pouch on the front of his abdomen. The female deposits her eggs (up to 1500 at a time) in this pouch when they are mating. The males then fertilize the eggs and carry them for 9 - 45 days (dependent on the breed of seahorse). When they are ready, the young, tiny seahorses are released from the pouch and the parents' role is done. The young are left to fend for themselves.
