 What kind of animal is a seahorse?
Seahorses are fish. They are cold-blooded vertebrates, have fins, gills and a lateral line. They are also covered with bony plates, which replace scales found on other fishes.Does the male or female give birth?
The male is actually the one that gets pregnant. Are seahorses endangered?
We don't know the number of seahorses living in the wild, but we do know that their numbers are declining. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources Red List of Threatened Species, most species are ranked as "vulnerable," meaning that they soon may become endangered. |
