Otherworldly video of a seahorse giving birth to thousands of "fry"

2021-09-07 00:00:00

There's nothing quite like watching a seahorse give birth to 2,000 tiny babies. National Geographic published this video showing one shoot offpsring out of its stomach, bursts of tiny yellow specks exploding into the water. I can't believe how cute and small they are!

Fewer than five in 1000 survive to adulthood

Though male seahorses give birth, they're not big on fatherly duties. The "fry", as baby seahorses are called, are on their own.
