By the By The male seahorse does not become pregnant ... the female tranferes the fertilized eggs to the male that keeps them in a pouch untill they hatch.

True, but that DOES make the male pregnant, surely, even though the young do not develop in a uterus?
Edit: "The male seahorse, rather than the female, becomes pregnant"

h2oonfilm.com saw the sea in a book once
pregnant or just carrying the young... not sure the technicalities,

but do know it is a geture that guarentees that the male carrying is ACTUALLY the father of the younge, which may indeed be worth the investment in time and energy.
