Seahorses are unique fish belonging to the Syngnathidae family, with over 50 species identified. They are found in shallow tropical and temperate waters, typically near seagrasses, coral reefs, or mangrove forests. Seahorses are known for their distinctive features, such as their upright posture, long snouts, prehensile tails, and intricate body patterns. They have a unique reproductive system, with the male carrying and giving birth to the young. Seahorses are also highly adaptable and can change color to blend in with their surroundings. Despite their intriguing nature, seahorses face various threats, including habitat loss, overfishing, and illegal trade.
