Seahorses lack a stomach and instead have a long, tubular digestive tract that allows them to process food efficiently. They feed by sucking in small prey, primarily tiny shrimp and plankton, through their elongated snouts, which function like a straw. Once ingested, the food travels quickly through their system, as seahorses must eat almost constantly to meet their energy needs. This unique feeding mechanism enables them to thrive despite the absence of a traditional digestive organ.
