Description
A "Sea Horse" refers to a small marine fish known for its horse-like head, hence the name. Here are a few key points about seahorses:
1. **Scientific Classification**: Seahorses belong to the genus *Hippocampus*, which is part of the family Syngnathidae. This family also includes pipefish and seadragons.
2. **Appearance**: Seahorses have a distinctive appearance with a horse-like head, curled tail, and bony armor. They use their tails to anchor themselves to seaweed and other objects in the ocean.
3. **Habitat**: They are commonly found in shallow tropical and temperate waters around the world, living in seagrass beds, coral reefs, and mangroves.
4. **Reproduction**: Seahorses are unique in that the males are the ones who carry and give birth to the young. The female deposits her eggs into the male's brood pouch, where he fertilizes and incubates them until they hatch.
5. **Conservation**: Many species of seahorses are threatened by habitat loss, overfishing, and the traditional medicine trade. They are listed on the IUCN Red List and are protected under various international agreements.
