How do leafy sea dragons reproduce?

Leafy sea dragons reproduce through a unique process where the female deposits her eggs into a special brood pouch located on the male's tail. The male then fertilizes the eggs and carries them for about 4 to 6 weeks until they hatch. Once the young sea dragons are ready, the male releases them into the water, where they become independent. This reproductive strategy helps ensure the survival of the offspring in their aquatic environment.
