Sea Horses
Did you know? Seahorses have no teeth and no stomach. Food passes through their digestive systems so quickly, they must eat almost constantly to stay alive.
Seahorses are members of the pipefish family. It is a graceful inhabitant of the warmer seas swimming upright and looking a little like a chess piece. Seahorses are usually found in shallow, warm water among sea grass beds. They situate themselves near fast-running, deep channels supplying them with plankton. It is a microscopic marine life on which they feed. They wrap their long tails around nearby vegetation in order not to avoid being swept away by the current. Their tails are prehensile, this means specially adapted for grasping around the vegetation.
