The seahorse is a unique marine creature belonging to the family Syngnathidae. They are known for their distinctive horse-like heads and curled tails. Seahorses are small, typically ranging from 1 to 14 inches in length, and are found in shallow coastal waters around the world, often in seagrass beds and coral reefs. One interesting feature of seahorses is their reproductive role; the males carry and nurture the young in a special pouch. They are also known for their ability to change color for camouflage and communication. Seahorses primarily feed on small crustaceans and plankton, using their elongated snouts to suck in food.
