Very Interesting facts about Seahorse ( source:
Livemint)
- Seahorses boast a host of oddities
- Males, not females, carry and give birth to babies
- They swim upright, not horizontally
- They have horse-like heads, tube-like snouts and no teeth
- They have grasping tails to grip sea-grasses and corals to avoid being swept away by currents
- Their eyes work independently, letting them look forward and backward simultaneously
- They can change colours to camouflage themselves
- Male seahorses possess a brood pouch. During mating, a female deposits eggs into the male’s pouch. The male fertilizes the eggs internally and carries them in the pouch until they hatch, releasing the fully formed offspring into the sea
