FACTS ABOUT SEAHORSES

By: Erik and Ixone

        The seahorses are horsey shape but they are fish. They have very small fins and they can´t swim fast. In fact, the seahorses haven’t got teeth and they haven’t got stomach too, because food passes through their digestive system so quickly, they must eat plankton and  tiny fish constantly to stay alive.

        The female seahorse releases up to 50 eggs into a pouch on the male’s abdomen.

        The male seahorse carries the eggs in his pouch until they hatch, then release fully formed, miniature seahorses into the water

        A little as 5 or as many a 1500 young can be born.

BUT BE CAREFULL! THEY ARE IN EXTINCTION!
