Sea horses are small marine fish belonging to the genus Hippocampus. They are known for their unique horse-like appearance, with a curled tail and a long snout. Sea horses typically inhabit shallow coastal waters, often found among seagrasses and coral reefs. They are slow swimmers and rely on their fins for movement. One interesting feature of sea horses is their reproductive role reversal. In most species, it is the male sea horse that carries and nurtures the young in a special pouch until they are ready to be released. This fascinating behavior sets them apart from many other fish species.
