Pipefish, on the other hand, use a slightly different method. These seahorse cousins have similar-looking mouths and tiny bodies, but appear more stretched-out than seahorses. A pregnant male ...

In fact, pipefish look just as a seahorse would look if you straightened its body out and bent the seahorse head to be in line with the rest of the body. But they share a much more fascinating ...

In a nutshell Nearly 5 million seahorses worth over $21 million were seized between 2010 and 2021, despite global bans intended to stop the trade. Most smuggling occurs through airports and sea ...

A new study has found that pipefish, close cousin to the seahorse and sea dragon, choose which of the brood survives, on the basis of the mother's attractiveness. Male pipefish carry developing ...

Like the seahorse, the male pipefish becomes pregnant and gives birth. The Gulf pipefish can carry from 5 to 40 developing offspring at one time in its specialized brood pouch.

In seahorses and pipefish, it is the male that gets pregnant and gives birth. Seahorse fathers incubate their developing embryos in a pouch located on their tail.

The male seahorse has a pouch on its stomach in which to carry babies—as many as 2,000 at a time. A pregnancy lasts from 10 to 25 days, depending on the species.

According to a new explanation of seahorse shape, those distinctive S-curve bodies let them reach further than straight-bodied ancestors. Compared to tube-shaped pipefish, their closest relatives ...
