When the young have hatched and are ready to leave the pouch ,the mouth of the pouch opens wide. The male alternately bends and straightens his body in convulsive jerks and finally a baby seahorse is shot out . after each birth the male rests,and when all the babies are born he shows signs of extreme exhaustion.
