Seahorses by Natasha


Seahorses are cute!Luckily they are not endagerd.
A sea horses head is like a horse.it’s tail looks like a snake.It is not a fish, but a special animal that has bony plates outside its body .This is the skeleton.. They have no teeth or scales.
They do not swim like a fish but they move like they are standing up! The fins on their backs move to push them forward.

A sea horse wraps up it’s tail around a piece of seaweed and wait’s for it’s food.
It sucks up small sea animals like a vacuum cleaner.
Most sea horses live on small plants or fan corals on reefthe ocean.some sea horses live in under water nets from old fishing boats.
The mother puts the eggs in the dads pouch on its stomach. The dad waits for the baby sea horse to hatch out of the pouch.

SEA HORSES are very cute and after dolfins they are my favirote sea animals.
