                  Sea horse

The seahorse is a small fish with segmented bony armor, an upright posture, a curled prehensile tail and a tubular snout

The seahorse is a horse headed fish that is as fast as a snapper and you can catch it easily.  They do not have scales but they have bony plates. They swim upright.

Sea horses eat and feed on  plankton, small fish, small shrimps and copepods

The two sea horses touch each other. The female puts up to 1500 eggs into the male’s pouch.

The sea horse habitat is shallow tropical and temperate waters throughout the world.

The number of seahorses are getting fewer as their habitat gets destroyed.
