Seahorses

There are almost 50species of seahorse, they are found in mostly shallow tropical and moderate waters around the world. In those waters they like to have shelter therefore they live in seagrass beds, coral reefs and mangroves. They can camouflage themselves to their surroundings. Even though they are a type of fish they do not have scales, they have boney plates arranged in rings right through their bodies and each specie of seahorse has its own particular number of rings. A very interesting characteristic that they have a coronet on their heads, on every individual just like a human fingerprint. Also something else that is interesting is that the female lays about 1,500 eggs into the male's pouch and the male carries them around until hatch fully developed which takes anywhere between 9 to 45 days.
