Wikipedia
sea horse
A seahorse (also written sea-horse and sea horse) is any of 46 species of small marine fish in the genus Hippocampus. "Hippocampus" comes from the Ancient Greek hippókampos (ἱππόκαμπος), itself from híppos (ἵππος) meaning "horse" and kámpos (κάμπος) meaning "sea monster" or "sea animal". Having a head and neck suggestive of a horse, seahorses also feature segmented bony armour, an upright posture and a curled prehensile tail. Along with the pipefishes and seadragons (Phycodurus and Phyllopteryx) they form the family Syngnathidae.

sea horse
A sea horse is a small marine fish in the genus Hippocampus. They are characterized by their unique horse-like shape, upright swimming posture, prehensile tail and elongated snout for snacking prey. Sea horses are found in temperate and tropical waters around the world and are notable for the males' unique ability to become pregnant and carry eggs until they hatch. They vary in size from about 0.6 to 14 inches and their armored body consists of bony plates arranged in rings throughout their skin, providing them a rigid body structure.
