* Appearance: Seahorses are small fish with elongated, horse-like heads and long, prehensile tails. They have a bony, segmented skeleton and a leathery skin that can be various colors, including brown, green, yellow, and red.
* Habitat: Seahorses are found in shallow waters in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world. They typically live in coral reefs, seagrass beds, and mangrove swamps.
* Diet: Seahorses are carnivores and feed on small crustaceans, such as shrimp, plankton, and mysids. They use their long, tubular snout to suck up their prey.
* Reproduction: Seahorses are unique in that the males are the ones who give birth. The female seahorse deposits her eggs in a pouch on the male's belly, where they are fertilized and develop. The male carries the eggs until they are ready to hatch, which can take up to several weeks.
* Behavior: Seahorses are slow-moving fish that spend most of their time anchored to seaweed or other objects with their tails. They are also excellent swimmers and can use their pectoral fins to move through the water.
* Lifespan: Seahorses have a relatively short lifespan, with most species living only a few years. However, some species can live for up to 10 years.
