Hippocampus haema Birth | Korean Seahorse

This is a male Korean seashorse (Hippocampus haema) giving birth. This birth took place at the very end of the reproductive season. As such, this male carried only about 25 young. The number of juveniles that pregnant males carry declines through the season, because the number of eggs produced and passed to males by females drops over time.
