Can a seahorse change its sex?
I have not found anything about a seahorse changing its gender. The most I have found about it is most fish can change gender but only if it is absolutely necessary. I will keep looking into it though :)
Do sea horses have a pocket or pouch?
No. Actually only the male seahorse has a pouch, on his front side. The female seahorse deposits her eggs into the male's pouch, where they are fertilized. The male carries the eggs until they hatch into tiny but fully developed seahorses. You may see the Related Link for more about seahorses.
What body feature do seahorse use for protection?
Seahorses have no known living predators (except for humans, who put them in tanks and use them in some medicine), but they do have the ability to slowly change colour, like a chameleon, so they match the leaf they are attached to.
their defense is camouflage...
A seahorse interacts with one another by making slight clicking sounds to attract there mates
Is the gray wolf warm blooded or cold blooded?
Wolves are mammals, and all mammals are warm blooded.
"hot blooded" isn't used in Biology, but is generally used for people who get angry and flare up easily.
How do you catch a seahorse on pet society?
I'm not completely sure about this, but while knead looking for that same answer I saw something about the school place. Try fishing at the academy.
How many types of marspials are there?
The best known marsupials, native to Australia, are kangaroos, koalas and wombats.
Seahorses hitch themselves to something when it is time for them to settle down and get some rest. They curl their tail around something and fall asleep.
Which gender lays seahorse eggs?
The male seahorse will always get pregnant the only thing that the female does is hand the eggs to the male. At first the male and the female enter into a "true courtship dance" during the dance (which last about 8 hrs.) the male pumps his brood pouch with water so when he receives the eggs from the female the eggs can move smoothly throughout the pouch. The female can insert up to a # of 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. You can say at first the female seahorse is pregnant, but she is not the one that gives birth the male actually gives birth to the seahorses always, but when the female is ready to deliver the eggs to the male as her stomach goes down the male's stomach is bloating. Also before they mate they do something called court which last for seven days. Also when the female is ready to deposit the eggs the seahorses might change color, grasp each others tails, swim side by side or grasp the same strand of seagrass.
A seahorse isn't a placental mammal; it's a type of fish, genus hippocampus. Seahorses are part of the same order as pipefish, Syngnathiformes. The seahorse's head is shaped like that of a horse.
Seahorse can, however, be another name for walrus, which is a placental mammal.
The hippopotamus was also called a seahorse during the 1800s.
What kind of skin covering does seahorses have?
Their armor is made out of the same type of keratin body covering as fish scales are. They have just adapted become heavier and thicker for protection. In mammals, the closest thing to it would be hair and nails.
Do seahorses give live birth or lay eggs?
I think give birth.
The female lays eggs in a pocket in the males stomach and the male takes care of the babies until they hatch. then there on there own. They DONT give birth.
seahorses lay eggs and hatch in the fathers pouch
The female sea horse places her ova (eggs) in a pouch on the male seahorses tummy where they are fertilised. About 3 weeks later (depending upon temperature) the male gives birth to the fry. Yes and that is the answer to everybodys question abut the male seahorse so thank you and good night!!!!!
I thing that the father squirts them out of his belly alive, they are very small.
watch a youtube clip of sea horses giving birth, you might find out more or if im wrong.
The female seahorse lays eggs and the male seahorse carries the eggs in his pouch until they hatch.
They sort of do both, but I would say that they lay eggs. The female lays eggs in the Male's pouch on its stomach. This is where the eggs are fertilised and where they grow. The male then pushes out the eggs as they hatch into the ocean. This isn't really giving birth so I would settle with laying eggs.

the male give birth and when the baby comes out the male leaves and then the female comes and protect them
How does a female seahorse deposit their eggs to the male seahorse?
The female seahorse has an ovipositor like most fish, and she passes the eggs to the male by inserting it into his pouch opening. This is done as the seahorse pair rises in the water column for the egg transfer.
Do seahorses have male and female organs?
No. They mate with a member of the opposite sex. Males do give birth though.
What do seahorses eat and how often?
Seahorses often eat zooplankton, phytoplankton, zooanxethlle, and microscopic crustations.
Where does sea horse lay eggs?
It's the female who make the eggs, but she deposits them in a pouch on the male seahorse's stomach for him to carry while the egs develop. When the eggs hatch, the pouch opens, and tiny, tiny sea horses swim out to start their own lives.
