Seahorses

 


Seahorses are very strange and fascinating creatures! With their horse-like heads and necks, upright bodies, bony armour and curly tails, they don't look like something you would expect to find in the sea.

Seahorses range from very tiny at about 1.5cm tall (just over half an inch) to abou 35cm (14 inches). They swim upright and not very well! They often curl their tails around something and wait for food to come to them, sucking it up with their long snouts.

Fun fact: the male seahorse carries up to 1500 eggs, laid by the female, in a pouch near his tail for up to 45 days until the babies emerge.
