The seahorse is a creature which has a thousand curious and unique features, and not only for its equine form. Unlike many other sea creatures, it is a monogamous fish and chooses its mate for life.

But surely the most bizarre feature is another! The seahorse is the only example in the world where the male of the species gives birth to their children!

The male seahorse gives birth to approximately 2000 tiny seahorses, but unfortunately only about a dozen survive! Here in this video, we can watch captured images of those exhilarating moments!
