Seahorse is the fish that least looks like fish. Its shape is very interesting. It is only four to thirty centimeters in length. It has a horse-shaped head, dragonfly eyes, a body like a shrimp, and a trunk like an elephant. An ordinary tail; the most interesting thing is that the father of the seahorse has a brood sac on the ventral side of the tail. It is the only animal in the world where the father gives birth to children, the seahorse.
The seahorse’s mouth is a pointed tube-shaped mouth that cannot be opened or closed, so it can only suck small animals in the water for food. The seahorse’s eyes are very special; they can move up, down, and down without turning the body. Turn left or right or forward or backward. Sometimes one eye looks forward and the other eye looks backward. When the seahorse rests, it curls its tail to wrap around the seaweed. It swims on its dorsal and pectoral fins.
Seahorse is also a valuable traditional Chinese medicine. It can strengthen the body, reduce inflammation and relieve pain, relieve cough and asthma.
