A seahorse among tall underwater plants
The seahorse rests with its curled tail wrapped around seaweed growing from the seabed. Upright plants form the surrounding underwater forest and give the small animal something to hold as water moves past. Its curved body and grasping tail make it easy to recognize among the vegetation.
Why seahorses hold on to plants
Seahorses are not powerful swimmers, so they often use their flexible tails to grip seaweed or other secure surfaces. Holding on helps them avoid being swept away by currents while they rest or wait for food. They swim upright and move mainly with a rapidly beating fin on their back.
