Rare footage showing a male seahorse giving birth to dozens of babies which are smaller than a grain of rice. The male seahorse is equipped with a pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side of the tail. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the eggs for 9 to 45 days until the seahorses emerge fully developed, but very small. Video by SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. | Donegal Weather Channel
