I wonder why the only male in the world to have babies is a seahorse?
This is because...
The female seahorse plants their eggs inside the male's pouch. The males pouch can regulate temperature, blood flow, and water salinity for the eggs as they hatch so the babies are prepared for life living in the ocean. The females don't have a pouch so therefore its impossible for them to carry the babies.
There are also different males that carry the babies such as the pipefish and the leafy seadragon.
