Seahorse

Seahorses, or hippocampus, are truly unusual animals: despite the fact that they have a horse-like head (from which they get their name), they are actually fish. Their body shape isn’t made for speed; rather they move slowly as they swim vertically. They often use their prehensile tails to anchor themselves to underwater corals. There, they patiently wait for the currents to bring their microscopic food straight to their toothless mouths, which act like a straw to suck it up. Neither do they have a proper stomach, so they have to eat continuously!

Just like chameleons, they are experts in camouflage and are able to change color to better hide amongst the algae and corals.

When looking for a mate, seahorses do a courting “dance” for hours, spinning around themselves, swimming next to their potential mate and changing color. After courtship is over, the couple stay together for life. The male of the species — which you can recognize as it has a longer tail — is a loving father: in fact, he personally looks after the eggs, protecting them until they hatch in a pocket of skin, just like a pouch, found in its tummy.

Globefish

No other name would be right for a fish which, in the mere fraction of a second, is able to puff itself up until it looks like a globe. As it is not the best swimmer, in fact, when the globefish feels threatened it protects itself by getting bigger, filling its elastic stomach with a huge amount of water or air. This makes it rather unappetizing for a hungry predator which is also put off by the “surprise effect.”
