Compared to most fish, seahorses are very slow swimmers, but they are excellent ambush hunters. They have prehensile tails so that they can anchor themselves to underwater plants and coral, a bit like a monkey would hang on to a tree branch to keep from falling. Once anchored, they stay very still so that they just look like part of the plant. Some species of seahorses can actually change color slightly, to camouflage themselves even better. Then all they need to do is stay very still and wait for tiny crustaceans, such as mysis shrimp to swim by so that they can suck them up with their long snouts and eat them (insects, such as the praying mantis use the same hunting technique when they camouflage themselves to look like twigs).
Part of the reason that they camouflage themselves is for protection from being attacked and eaten by larger, faster swimming fish. The keratin-based scales of the normal fish have evolved to be much thicker and harder in the seahorse for extra protection. It is more like armor than scales. The male seahorse has also developed a brood pouch to carry their partner's eggs so that they can protect them until they are born.
The seahorse has mobile eyes so it can look out for predators and preys without moving its body. It can also hide behind seaweed to escape from predators.
its eyes which move independantly to search for predators, and camouflage to hide from predators.
The adaptations of seahorses is the color, size/weigh, and special body parts

One of the seahorses main adaptations for survival is their ability to change color. They change color to blend into their surroundings so enemies cannot find them.
Organisms DO NOT live IN adaptations, they live in an "environment", and have adaptations that make them fit for that environment.

They swim
seahorses dont swim succesfully, but they do have little fins on their sides to help them get away from preditors. seahorses have a lot of adaptations like camoflage, spikes and spines on their body. they eat other tiny fish and bits of seaweed. that is how a seahorse survives.
As delicate as a seahorse As small as a seahorse As colourful as a seahorse As light as a seahorse As pretty as a seahorse Hope this helps :) xx

No, the seahorse is a fish.
What is the width of a seahorse?
SEAHORSE
a seahorse is an animal
the size of a baby seahorse
It depends on what type of seahorse it is. If its a giraffe seahorse then it should look kinda like a giraffe.
