What is the answer to the riddle 'In which animal does the male give birth?'

The answer is the seahorse. The female deposits her eggs into a pouch on the male's belly, and the male carries, fertilizes, and gives birth to the baby seahorses.

Is it true that male seahorses get pregnant?

Yes. Seahorses are one of the only animals where the male becomes pregnant. He incubates the eggs in a special brood pouch and releases fully formed babies, sometimes hundreds at once.

Are turtles, octopuses, or sharks the answer?

No. Turtles lay eggs, female octopuses guard their eggs, and most sharks have the female carry the young. Only the seahorse has the male give birth.
