Seahorse
Alternative names: Hippocampus
The seahorse is a species of fish that can be found in tropical and temperate waters throughout the world.
They have thin skin stretched over a series of bony plates, which are arranged in rings throughout their bodies. They also have a long snake-like tail and a neck and snout that are pointing down.
Unfortunately, their body shape makes seahorses inept swimmers and they can easily die from exhaustion.
An interesting facts is that the seahorses are monogamous and mate for life. Also, when mating, the female releases the eggs into a pouch on the male's abdomen and the male carries the eggs until they hatch.
