What is a seahorse?
Seahorses are unique fish. Yes, seahorses are actually a fish. They have all the necessary parts of a fish: fins for swimming, gills for breathing, and a swim bladder for keeping them afloat. Seahorses differ from their fishier relatives by having an upright posture; a long, tube-shaped snout and a prehensile tail for grabbing hold of plants, rocks and other holds. Their jaws are sealed together with just a small opening at the end for sucking in food.
