Seahorses!
The seahorse is an interesting creature of the ocean! Found in tropical and temperate salt water, you can find seahorses living in coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds.
The seahorse has no stomach, so it eats almost constantly. Seahorses swim upright, using their dorsal fin as a propeller.
A seahorse does not have eyelids, so it sleeps or rests with its eyes open. It wraps its tail around reeds or coral to keep from drifting while resting.
The female seahorse deposits eggs into a pouch on the male seahorse. The male seahorse then carries the eggs in his pouch until the baby seahorses emerge, fully developed.
The seahorse is a fascinating creature!
