Unlike For most fish that swim belly down, the seahorse swims upright. Due to the pollution of the World Ocean, their number Populations in many regions of our planet are gradually declining. The offspring of seahorses is not carried by the female, but by the male. Fertilized eggs are kept in a special "pocket" on his body until small, but quite viable fry will not hatch from them. Seahorses remain loyal to their partner forever. Finding myself a mate they are no longer apart. In this case, the female always chooses the male, and not vice versa. These amazing creatures are found only in warm water. There are 54 known species of seahorses.
