• The average height of a full-grown seahorse is
  2-8 inches.

3

• Seahorses vary in color from orange, red, yellow,
  grey, and green. Seahorses can come in patterns
  like zebra stripes and spots.

4

• Seahorses change color to blend in with their
  surroundings.

5

• Seahorses like to swim in pairs linked by their
  tales. They cannot curl their tails backwards.

6

• The small dorsal fins propel it through the water
  in an upright position, while it beats them back
  and forth, almost as fast as a humming bird
  flapping its wings.

7

• The pectoral fins control turning and steering.
  When resting, the seahorse curls its tail around
  seaweed, to keep it from floating away.

8

• Out of the entire animal kingdom, the seahorse is
  the only animal in which the male has the babies!
  The female lays eggs in the males pouch and
  leaves!
