Seahorses are small fish that live in coastal waters around the world. They have a horse-like head and curled tail, and males carry fertilized eggs in a brood pouch before giving birth. Seahorses come in various colors and can change their color to camouflage with their habitat. They eat small shrimp, fish, and plankton. Male seahorses are responsible for pregnancy and giving birth to live young after a 2-4 week gestation period. Seahorses face threats from predators like sharks and fisheries, and some species are endangered.
