Answer

They are not really sea horses the are sea fish, pipefish.


Seahorses have an interior skeleton.

Seahorses belong to the family of Syngnathidae.

Seahorses belong to the Teleost sub-order of Syngnathidae.

The seahorse is a fish but is different from other fish, it has a head like a horse, a tail like a monkey, a pouch like a kangaroo and the eyes resemble a chameleon's.

They are usually found in shallow, coastal tropical and temperate waters in many areas of the world.

larvae or mysids, brine shrimp are some of the small living things that seahorses feed on.

Seahorse males have the babies. The female seahorse deposits her eggs into the male's small pouch, these eggs are then fertilized by the male.
