potbelly+seahorses



potbelly seahorses cen be found in Australian kelp forests. Like all seahorses, they swim using their back fin and steer with the fins on their head. seahorses don't swim fast or far but are good at moving around in their habitats.



One way seahorses survive is by blending into the grasses, keep or corals where they live. some seahorses have pointy spines all over their heads and bodies to help them hide. while others 'disappering' by changing their colors to match their surroundings.

 * 1.a tube-shaped moiuth to suck in food; and

<"horse" of a Different kind>

Horseshoe crabs look very different from seahorses, but they share more than just their names. Both live in shallow water and suck up their food. the difference is, horseshoe crabs slurp up clams and worms they find in the mud and sand.
