Seahorses are unique and fascinating Marine creatures known for their unique morphology and living habits. The body structure of seahorses is very different from other fish, the head is shaped like a horse, the body is presented with a vertical posture, and the tail is curled like a tree branch, which makes them stand out in the ocean. Seahorses do not swim, but they usually cling to seaweed or coral with their tails and breathe through their gills, showing a quiet and elegant lifestyle.

The lives of seahorses are becoming a hot topic of study, especially during their reproduction. Unlike most fish, seahorses are conceived and given birth by the male. The male seahorse forms a pouch on his abdomen, into which the female pours her eggs, which are then fertilized and incubated by the male. This unique way of reproduction has made seahorses a fascinating point of biological research.

In nature, seahorses are usually small in size and have a wide variety, ranging from a few centimeters to tens of centimeters. They come in a variety of colors, from vivid oranges and yellows to plain grays and browns, and some species can even enhance their camouflage by changing colors to suit their surroundings. This ability to adapt not only helps them avoid predators, but also makes it easier for them to attract mates when breeding.

However, with the change of Marine ecological environment, the survival of seahorses is facing many threats. Habitat destruction, Marine pollution, and overfishing have all put enormous pressure on seahorse populations. Seahorses are declining so dramatically in many places that some species are listed as endangered. Therefore, protecting seahorses and their habitats has become a common goal of scientists and conservationists.

Nowadays, the collection and display of seahorses also play an important role in research and education, through which we can more intuitively understand the morphological characteristics and ecological habits of seahorses.
