The whole theory of Seahorse says it is Male which breeds the eggs and take care of the born, but normally it is the female which gives birth and take care of the born.

So which side might be true?

There is no right or wrong answer to this question, as the answer may depends on the particular case. Some people might believe that science is right and others might believe that science is wrong.

The male seahorse has a pouch that is designed to carry the eggs. During the mating season, the female will deposit her eggs in the male's pouch. The male fertilizes the eggs and carries them there for safe keeping. This is normally for 9 to 45 days. The male knows when each egg is fully developed and the small seahorse is ready to be released. The male pouch can hold up to 2000 eggs at a time. 

During the breeding season, the male can mate again within a few hours after releasing the babies or it could be a few days. The male and female do a courtship and interlock their tails in a form of a dance. This can last a few days or up to 8 hours. When the courtship is finished the female will deposit her eggs in the pouch of the male. 

So no science is correct and it is the male seahorse that will carry the eggs in his pouch to fertilize them and release them once they are fully mature after 10 to 25 days or up to 45 days in some cases. The male can breed several times during the mating season. He can find another female within hours of releasing the babies and the female can deposit her eggs into his pouch again for him to carry them and release them once they are fully developed.

The fact is so evident that male seahorse needs to carry the eggs. I think scientists need to study this matter again. Perhaps they committed a mistake about tagging which one is male or female. I had also feel shocked when watching a documentary about it.

No one can say for certain which side is right or wrong as scientific research is constantly evolving and new evidence may come to light which changes our understanding of the gender dynamics of seahorses. It is possible that the current understanding of seahorse gender is in fact incorrect, though there is no definitive evidence to support this at this time.

Some people believe that science is wrong about gender of Seahorses and that it is the female who gives birth to the eggs, and the male who takes care of the born. Other people believe that science is right about gender of Seahorses, and that the female gives birth to the eggs, and the male takes care of the born.

Seahorses are not one of those animals who change their sex. The female lays the eggs and the male carries the fertilized eggs on his back. They remain male and female.

No, science is not wrong about the gender of seahorses. In seahorses, it is actually the males that carry and give birth to the offspring, which is a unique characteristic in the animal kingdom. Female seahorses deposit their eggs into a special pouch on the male seahorse's abdomen, where they are fertilized and develop until the male eventually gives birth to live young.

No, science is not wrong about the gender of seahorses. Seahorses have a unique and fascinating reproductive system where the males, not the females, become pregnant and carry and give birth to the offspring. This phenomenon is well-documented and studied within the scientific community.
