Seahorses

A seahorse is a small sea creature,with loads of body armour covering its entire body. A seahorse is a actinopterygii. Seahorses are very light and hardly have any bones!

There are over 50 species of seahorse. Seahorses prefer to swim in pairs, with their tales linked together. Seahorses have no exoskeleton unlike other fish, seahorses have bony plates that are held together by their skin

Seahorses feed on plankton, small fish and shrimp. A seahorse has no stomach meaning they need to eat constantly.

The reproduction process starts when a male and female seahorse start doing daily dances. Their tales hook together. Soon the female will begin to lay tiny eggs.

Seahorses are mainly found in the shallow of tropical waters. Four species are found in pacific waters.

When you see a seahorse its best to leave it alone. It has tones of duties to do:)
