PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
THE BEAUTIFUL COLORED SEAHORSES BELONG TO THE MOST MAGNIFICENT AND MOST REMARKABLE ORGANISMS OF THE SEA. ACTUALLY A SEAHORSE IS A NORMAL FISH COMING ALONG IN A VERY SPECIAL DRESS. THERE ARE ABOUT 35 DIFFERENT SPECIES OF SEAHORSES SPREAD ALL OVER THE WORLD.
SEAHORSES ARE VERTEBRATE FISH.
THEY SPEND MOST OF THEIR DAY ACHORING THEMSELVES AND THEIR TAIL. WHEN THEY SWIM, THEY GLIDE.......THEY HAVE A TRANSPARANT FIN ON THEIR BACK, CALLED A DORSAL.
IN A SEAHORSE PREGNANCY IT HAPPENS TO THE MALE ANIMALS. AFTER THE BABIES ARE BORN SOME SEAHORSE'S WILL DIE IF ALL THE BABIES DO NOT COME OUT. THEY GET AN INFECTION. (PUTREFACTION AND BACTERIAL INFECTION)

Just dropped by for a visit via the Duchess of Tea. Love your blog and will be visiting again. We have much in common. I live on Long Island, love all things English, (especially tea). I am a big Doc Martin fan, hope to visit Cornwall someday. Looks like you have a wonderful, full life with all your children and grandchildren. I also have a daughter and grandson living with me. Keeps me on my toes, that's for sure. Take care - it was lovely meeting you. - Lana www.lifeatwildberrycottage.com

ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this post-so informative and it brings back memories. I did a extra credit paper in 4th grade on sea horses and made one out of clay. Such unique creatures!!!
