Did you know seahorses don’t have any teeth or a stomach? Seahorses are a very interesting animal that could be misjudged as a sea monster. One that has a very curly tail, and bright, vibrant colors. These “sea monsters” are fish, even though they don’t look like a fish. They aren’t even very similar to a fish too. Seahorses don’t swim very fast either, or have scales, like all fish. Instead the seahorse has bony plates. Bony plates are little plates that are arranged in tiny knobs making it visible where they join together. Most of you would think the female seahorses are the ones that give birth to baby seahorses. Surprisingly, the male seahorses are the ones that give birth to baby seahorses. Well, …show more content…
To be specific, seahorses eat brine shrimp. They can eat up to 3,000 brine shrimp per day! The food that they eat quickly passes through their digestive system, like garbage going down a garbage chute. In that case they get hungry pretty quick because the food they eat doesn’t sit in their stomach like our food does. That is only because they don’t have a stomach. Have you ever wondered how seahorses eat their food? Seahorses eat their food by using their snout. Yes, it sounds disgusting but their snout is cleaner than our noses. They suck up the food they want to eat and it sucks it up like a vacuum cleaner picking up dust. Did you know seahorses are alike to two animals? The two animals that a seahorse is alike to is a horse and a chameleon. The seahorse is alike to a horse because the seahorses head is shaped like a tiny horses head. And the seahorse is alike to the chameleon because the seahorse can change colors to what it is close to. That is one of the many reasons seahorses are different colors.
These seahorses can really be an interesting animal to look at or discover the truth behind them. Seahorses sure are an amazing
Ghost shrimp are high in natural oils and fats, beneficial for coloration and development of seahorses. Ghost Shrimp have a much lower risk of carrying disease than other live feeder species and are also very effective at actively reducing nitrates within the water (Ghostshrimp). Reducing nitrates and keeping the water clean is very important for seahorses as I will explain
One of the most interesting features besides the shape of their heads is the fact that they have a 360 degree view, meaning they can see above and below them at the same time. Hammerheads are definitely an interesting mammal. Hammerheads are known to live in warm tropical waters around the world.
These animals are called polyps, and can live on their own, though tend to group up to form coral. Different groups of corals can eat different thing, depending on their size. A coral that is bigger would probably eat small fish, while a coral that is smaller might eat
Hammerhead sharks are carnivore because they eat meat much as fish species. They will eat fish to regain their energy because they use most of it swimming. They also use energy by using their sense of smell that allows them to detect blood. When a shark reaches a point when they can’t use any more energy, they will go deep into the ocean and stay there. Their preys won’t spot them as easily when they are deep in the ocean.
Originally found in the Atlantic Ocean, the sea lampreys where first discovered in Lake Michigan in 1936. The sea lampreys can be described as jawless parasites with mouths similar to suction disks. They also have very sharp teeth which they us to attach themselves to fish in the water, allowing them to feed on their blood and body fluid for various hours or even weeks. This usually causes visible injures to the bigger fishes and kill smaller fishes. These sea lampreys contribute to the decline in the population of white fish in the great lakes.
I think that SeaWorld is an amazing facility. I love the fact that they rescue sea creatures from their inevitable death. I love the fact that children love to come here. I love the fact that this place causes children to subconsciously learn something. I love to bring my kids here on the weekend to watch the shows that the trainers put on with the orcas.

These vibrissae are as sensitive as human fingers and allow the manatee to feel its surroundings in a better manner. When feeding the manatee uses its split upper lip to help gather and manipulate food allowing them to easily grasp their food. The manatee only has hind molars that move to the front row slowly as teeth fall out , these molars are efficient for grinding down plants and other forms of vegetation that the manatee feeds on. While the manatee mainly lives in warmer waters they have a thick layer of fat covering their bodies in order to insulate themselves from the cold.

The only difference in their skeletons is the sizes of their bones in their bodies. All three sea animals share a common body structure too. These similar body parts are the blowhole, dorsal fin, and the flippers. They even share the same internal structure of organs. For example, there is the melon, which is the forehead of all three of the aquatic mammals.
Unlike the human digestion system, crayfish have a rather simple system. Starting with the mouth, food is ingested and passed into the cardiac stomach via the esophagus. In this first stomach food is stored until it is passed into the pyloric stomach; filled with small “teeth” like structures. Once ground the food is handed out to the intestine, where nutrient is absorbed into the blood vessels and taken around the body. After the intestine, the excess waste is removed through the anus.
