Seahorse’s feed on mostly crustaceans, shrimp.  They normally eat live food. Seahorses also eat plankton. A seahorse is continually feeding by sucking food though it's long snout. Seahorses do not have teeth so they swallow there food whole.

A seahorse’s appearance is different than most fish. Instead of scales they have bony plates. Those help protect their bodies. Seahorses can change colors to match their surroundings.  They can turn into black, white, green, orange, red, and other colors. The seahorse’s size ranges from less than a centimeter to thirty centimeters. Seahorses have horse like heads, monkey like tails, and chameleon eyes.

For seahorses species it is the male who become pregnant. The male holds the eggs in his broad pouch. The males stay pregnant to give birth for many weeks before giving birth. When preparing to give birth the males pouch becomes very spherical. That is how a seahorse reproduces.

Seahorses can be found is sea grass a lot, or coral reefs and mangroves. That means t he seahorses live on coastlines. Now you know about a seahorse’s habitat.

A seahorse’s life span is unknown to us. We have some estimates on who long a seahorse lives though. For a smaller seahorse they estimate they there lifespan is about one year. For a larger seahorse it is estimated that they live for three to five years. That is about the seahorse’s life span.
