__**// SEAHORSES!!!!!: //**__

1.) There are 35 species of seahorses KNOWN around the wold. 2.) Seahorses have a long snout and have tails that curl up at the end. 3.) Seahorses are very poor swimmers due to a lot of armor they where. Whoa!!! That is soooo cool!! They live in the ocean so you would think they were excellent swimmers, but they aren't. 4.) They spend most of their time resting by anchoring themselves down with their tails. So cool!! 5.) When they do swim they glide through the water by moving a transparent fin on their back. 6.) They have no teeth. Soooo cool!!!! 7.) They eat by creating a "vacuum" with their tube like snouts and suck up their prey. 8.) Sea turtles, large fish, crabs, and birds are all predators to the seahorse. Awww!!! That is sooo sad!!! 9.) Seahorses camouflage themselves by changing colors. Whoa!! I never knew that!! 10.) Male seahorses are the ones that carry the eggs in their pouch during mating season.
