Hello!
Who are you?
I'm a sea horse.
But I'm not a horse.
I'm a really small fish!
Where do you live?
Sea horses live in the ocean.
We like warm water near land.
What do you eat?
Sea horses eat small crustaceans.
We don't have teeth.
We suck up food with our mouths.
Who are your enemies?
Crabs like to hunt us.
Sometimes people catch us too.
Do sea horses lay eggs?
Yes. Females lay eggs and give them to males.
Males carry them in a pouch.
Finally the eggs hatch.
Are you a good swimmer?
No! We are the slowest fish.
Our fins are not good for swimming.
So sea horses don't move around much.
You have a long tail!
We grab plants or coral with our tails.
This helps us stay in one place.
Oh! I see food.
It's time to eat.
Good-bye, Sea Horse!
