Dimitrios Pafras Ichthyologist PhD cad from Amarynthos Evia together with his partner Athanasios Lazaridis have recorded a unique phenomenon, which causes awe by capturing the magic and immensity of nature, since in the video they are bringing to the public a male seahorse giving birth is captured.

This is the first recording of a similar phenomenon in the Mediterranean by divers.

Yes, male seahorses give birth.

Nature may be very specific with female animals giving birth to young and males fertilizing, however, the rule does not apply to this particular species since males become… moms.

3 of the 46 species of seahorses are found in the Mediterranean Sea. Hippocampus guttulatus (long-snouted seahorse), Hippocampus hippocampus (short-snouted seahorse) and Hippocampus fuscus (seapony).

Seahorses range in size from 1.5 to 35 centimeters.

They are so named because of their horse-like appearance, with a bent neck and a long nosed head and distinctive trunk and tail.

Even though they are bony fish, they do not have scales.
