Seahorses are truly unique, and not just because of their unusual equine shape.
Male seahorses are equipped with a brood pouch on their ventral, or front-facing, side.
He carries the eggs in his pouch until they hatch, then releases fully formed, miniature seahorses into the water.
Because of their body shape, seahorses are rather inept swimmers and can easily die of exhaustion when caught in storm-roiled seas.
They anchor themselves with their prehensile tails to sea grasses and corals, using their elongated snouts to suck in plankton and small crustaceans that drift by.
Population data for most of the world’s 35 seahorse species is sparse.
Type: Fish Diet: Carnivore Average lifespan in the wild: 1 to 5 years (estimated) Size: 0.6 to 14 in (1.5 to 35 cm) Group name: Herd Did you know? Seahorses have no teeth and no stomach.
