If the male seahorse has the babies, doesn't that make him the female?

Answer 1

The male seahorse get the female pregnant, then she deposits the fertilized eggs in his pouch. He is then pregnant and delivers the babies.

Answer 2

for all intence and purposes,the male is the one that has has the babies. per wikopedia (and IO had heard this before) The male seahorse is equipped with a brood pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the eggs for anywhere from 9 to 45 days until they emerge, expelling fully-developed, miniature seahorses in the water. Once the seahorse babies are released into the water, the male's role is done and he offers no further care. basically it is the male that is 'pregnant', the female gives him all the fertilized eggs and he holds them till they are ready to be born. so yes a male can be pregnant.
