2. I dont know about buying them but I have some facts on them: -Seahorses have no teeth and no stomach. Food passes through their digestive systems so quickly, they must eat almost constantly to stay alive. -Seahorses gained international protection on May 15, 2004 -What do South American Spider Monkeys, Ringtail Opossums and seahorses have in common? They all have prehensile tails. -Seahorses are members of the Teleost suborder, or bony fish. -A herd, is the term a group of seahorses are known as. -Seahorses usually live in the tropics or along temperate coasts. -The average height of a full-grown sea horse is 2-8 inches. -The average lifespan of a seahorse in the wild is estimated to be 1 to 5 years -A seahorse that is two weeks old can consume 3000 to 4000 brine shrimp in a day. -Seahorses also vary in color, including orange, red, yellows, grey, and greens. -Seahorses can come in patterns like “zebra stripes” and spots. -Seahorses change color to blend in with their surroundings. -Seahorses feed on small living animals such as daphnia, cyclops, larvae of water insects, or mysids. -Seahorses like to swim in pairs linked by their tales. -Seahorses cannot curl their tails backwards. -Seahorses belong to the vertabra group, meaning they have an interior skeleton. -The small dorsal fins propel it through the water in an upright position, while it beats them back and forth, almost as fast as a humming bird flapping its wings. -Seahorses usually mate under a full moon. -The pectoral fins control turning and steering. When resting, the seahorse curls its tail around seaweed, to keep it from floating away... -Seahorse natural predators are crabs, tuna, skates and rays. -Seahorses have a single mate for life. Every morning, they come together, dance, change their color, twirl around with linked tails and then separate for the rest of the day. -During mating, the Seahorses utter musical sounds. -Seahorses are the only animals in the entire animal kingdom in which the male has babies. The female seahorse deposits the eggs into the male's small pouch, these eggs are then fertilized by the male. -Twenty-five million seahorses a year are now being traded around the world - 64 percent more than in the mid-1990s - and environmentalists are increasingly concerned that the booming trade in seahorses is putting the creatures at risk.
