Male seahorses give birth, not females.

Infact verdict: True (86/100).

The claim that male seahorses give birth is supported by multiple sources. Male seahorses uniquely possess a brood pouch where the female deposits eggs. The male then fertilizes these eggs internally and later gives birth to the offspring. This biological role reversal is well-documented and corroborated by scientific studies and reputable sources, such as the University of Sydney.
