In sea horses, the males become pregnant. Their mating involves the female inserting her oviduct into the male's brooding pouch. She does this several times for short intervals to avoid exhaustion. In between the female rests while the male contorts himself to try to get the eggs in place in his brood pouch. After completion the male moves away and attaches himself by his tail to a nearby plant. The female moves away and waits for her oviduct to recede. The oviduct usually recedes within a few hours. The eggs are fertilized and hatch in the male's pouch

Hippocampus, the greek name of sea horse is a true but unusual fish.
Yes, it's true, seahorses reproduce in an unusual way: the male becomes pregnant, for two to three weeks.
The male has a pouch where he carries eggs deposited by the female. The pair entwine their tails and the female put a long tube to the male's pouch. The eggs move through the tube into the pouch . The embryos develop in ten days to six weeks.

Honey, it's not impossible, it is how nature designed it. The female, after mating with the male, lays her eggs in a pouch attached to the front of the male Seahorse's body, there the eggs hatch and once mature enough, the babies break out, in a sense the male gives birth to them. Where MOST lifeforms are concerned it's the male that will kill the young, but not so with Seahorses, the FEMALE kills her young, so nature devised a way to help them to survive.

No, the females are classified by creating the eggs and even though the male carries them they do the fertilizing

something bitless. a delicate hackamore, a bitless bridle, or you ought to easily proceed utilising the halter if those 2 innovations do no longer artwork. yet no bits of direction, those are meant to sit down down on the bars of the mouth. the teeth save the bit on those bars. you ought to attempt slightly S hackamore or an English one, the two are gentle and intensely commonly used.
