Seadragons are unique marine creatures closely related to seahorses and pipefish. They belong to the family Syngnathidae and are found primarily in the coastal waters of southern and eastern Australia. There are two main species: the leafy seadragon, which has leaf-like appendages for camouflage, and the weedy seadragon, which has a more streamlined appearance.
These fascinating animals are known for their vibrant colors and intricate body structures. Seadragons are not strong swimmers; instead, they rely on their dorsal fins for movement and their ability to blend into their surroundings to avoid predators. They primarily feed on small crustaceans and plankton.
