How do male seahorses give birth?
When seahorse males prepare to give birth, their pouch extends to an almost spherical shape. The male undergoes muscular contortions that last for about ten minutes - then, in an explosive action, the brood leaves the pouch.

The female seahorse deposits her eggs in the male's pouch and the eggs hatch after 10 to 25 days. Thanks for using ChaCha!
