SEAHORSES
There are 30-40 species of seahorses worldwide.
  • ​​Live in shallow weedy areas and move to deeper waters in winter.
  • Breath through gills and have a swim bladder.
  • Eat small crustacean.
  • Have excellent eyesight and each eye works independently on either side of their head so that they can look forwards and backwards at the same time.
  • One species of seahorse is less than one inch long.
  • Are the slowest fish in the ocean, moving at about 0.01 miles per hour.
  • Change colour when they are stressed.
  • Males get pregnant, not the female.
  • When resting, they curl their tails around coral or seaweed so that they don't float away.
  • Are poor swimmers.
  • Mate for life and travel together holding on to each other's tails.
  • Only 5 in 1,000 seahorses survive to adulthood.
  • Are the only fish with a neck.
  • Beat their fins almost as fast as hummingbirds beat their wings.
