Physical Description
The sea horse's swimming position is vertical, with slight forward or backward inclinations, in the direction of travel. The body is covered with armored plates. An equine-like head set at right angles to the body ends in a long tubular snout. A bony "coronet" may develop on the head. The male seahorse broods fertilized eggs in a small pouch in its lower abdomen. Females are slightly smaller.
