What are the characteristics of hippocampus? 1 Hippocampus has nothing to do with horses. It is a kind of fish that lives in the ocean, so it is named because its head looks like a horse's head. The hippocampus is very small, only 10-20 cm long. Hippocampus is a striking animal, and its shape is very special. This thumb-sized fish has a head like a big horse's head and always holds it high. Some people think that seahorses are not fish. In fact, seahorses do belong to fish, but they look different from other fish.

Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? Hippocampus is the only fish that can swim upright. Usually, seahorses eat the smallest crustaceans and small animals swimming in the water. Because the hippocampus can't swim fast and has no defense ability, it has to disguise itself as much as possible in a cruel living environment to avoid being attacked by the enemy. It often wraps itself around seaweed or rocks, and its slender tail curls into a spiral. Its strange color skin looks like a pile of seaweed or a rock to the enemy.

However, the seahorse also has its own natural enemies, and no matter how disguised it is, it can't escape from the palm of the lobster's hand. Because when lobsters are looking for food, no matter what they are, they will be picked up and put into their mouths to taste, and the seahorse has become a delicious meal for lobsters.

What are the characteristics of hippocampus? Hippocampus is a kind of fish, although it doesn't look like a fish. It's not like a horse except its head. It has a fin on its back, which swings very fast, thus pushing the hippocampus to swim in the water.

Hippocampus is a kind of fish. It is generally about 10 cm long, so it is named because its head is a bit like a horse. Living among the algae in the water area, it is a precious medicinal material, which has the functions of fitness, pain relief and heart strengthening.

Hippocampus is a strange small marine fish, with a body length of 5 cm to 30 cm. Named after the head bends at right angles to the body. There are not many species of hippocampus, about 32 species, and 8 species in China. They live in tropical and subtropical coastal shallow waters between 30 degrees north latitude and 30 degrees south latitude respectively. Although they have a wide geographical range, they are only scattered and narrow in coastal waters, and most species are mainly distributed in the western Atlantic Ocean and the Central and South Pacific Ocean.

The shape of hippocampus is different from that of ordinary fish. The caudal fin is completely degenerated, and the spine has evolved into a monkey's tail, which can be curled to hook any protruding object to fix the body position. Small and almost transparent fins can make the hippocampus move up and down, left and right at will, but the speed is slow. Usually, the hippocampus relies on its body color camouflage to harden into skin-like skin to avoid predators.

Comments on scientific stories about why horses are fish.

The special breeding mode of hippocampus is also remarkable. That is, the female fish lays eggs in the pouch of the male fish, and after two to three weeks of pregnancy, the male fish hatches a small hippocampus. Looking at the male seahorse with a big belly and imminent labor can often make some female compatriots express their grievances. At present, the hippocampus is facing a huge crisis. Every year, millions of seahorses are captured to make traditional Chinese medicine or kept in aquariums. In addition, for the sake of economic development, human beings have destroyed the natural habitats of seahorses such as seaweed areas, mangroves and coral reefs, which have far-reaching effects. Children, we should protect animals!
