The Seahorse exhibit was amazing, i remembered hearing about this exhibit when they first came, so i was so thrilled when i saw they were still there. So now i am going to ramble on about seahorses and why they are so cool. Enjoy.
Seahorses always seemed so mythical and mystical to me, as i'm sure a lot of you would agree. And from these cool facts you'll see; they really are!!- Seahorses' small dorsal fins propel them through the water almost as fast as a hummingbird flaps it's wings
- Seahorses change color to blend in with their surroundings
- When a Seahorse is looking for a mate they get a 'glittery glow' all over and utter musical sounds
- A seahorse will mate for life...and will mate under a full moon (sorry if that's pg-13!)
- THE MALE seahorse gets pregnant, and carries the babies for three weeks and undergoes 72 hour labor, and births about 200 live baby seahorses...COOL!!
- Seahorses like to swim in pairs, linked together by their tails
When a Seahorse is tired, they curl their tail around seaweed or something like it so they don't float away while they rest. Aren't they SO CUTE?!I hope you guys enjoyed this little post about seahorses. I could go on and on but for the sake of reading i won't. BUT...

This little guy is equally cool... research him if you have time :)
