                  " A HORSE THAT CAN SWIM"
A sea horse is a facinating animal ! it is a fish, but with a different shape of body.In fact, it is named after a horse because of the sahpe of its head.
It even swims in a different way from other fish.It swims standing up and, when it  wants to stand still or hide, it holds onto a plant with its tail.

But what makes it really different, not just from other fish  but from all animal species, is that the male has the babies. The female passes her eggs to a bag near the male´s abdomen.The eggs stay there for aproximately 3 weeks and then 100 to 250 little sea horses are born.
Sadly this beautiful animal is in danger of extincion.
