RE: The Truth About Hippocamps

I would have thought those were horses in those fountain sculptures.

Also, way cool comparison with the hippocampus.

Another great thing about the seahorse...the only male species I know of that carries births the babes.

wikipedia: The male seahorse is equipped with a pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side of the tail. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the eggs for 9 to 45 days until the seahorses emerge fully developed, but very small.

Besides like you I think seahorses are cool.
