Karen Hunt, owner of a marine creature in Wiltshire, England, recorded the special mating process of seahorses in a water tank. This is a "private affair" so most people have no chance to witness it.

Two seahorses close together, and the female began to put its eggs in a special bag of males. The male seahorse will fertilize the eggs and hatch them themselves and carry them in the abdomen during pregnancy. After a few weeks of hatching eggs, the seahorse father will give birth. Seahorses can produce up to 1,500 juveniles at a time.
