In seahorses, the male gives birth. This is partly because we consider the sex of an animal by the size of its gametes (sex cells)-- so the ones with the larger gametes are considered females, and the smaller are males. In seahorses, the males carry the baby and give birth.
I also learned a new term-- "seahorse dads"-- to describe trans men who give birth
