No normally. In some cases, an adult may eat seahorse fry (baby seahorse) but this doesn't happen very often because of the dispersal of the young. It has been observed in captivity, whether or not it happens in the wild is unknown.
prey, its what they eat?!?!
The seahorse is mainly at the middle of a food web closer to the bottom. Due to the fact that crustaceans like shrimp are its prey. Another reason is that tuna and sting ray eat it. They are closer to the top.
To hunt prey and see predators
Animals that prey on seahorses include crabs, tuna, and penguins.
They mostly feed on shrimp and similar small crustaceans, but also small fish.
It is best to add another seahorse female to a tank rather than leave a single male seahorse in a tank with another mated pair of seahorses. If the female in a pair dies, simply replace the female seahorse. You can keep several pairs together in a larger tank.
The adaptations of a seahorse is it has camouflage to hide from predators and to sneak up on its prey. It also has a long prehensile tail that allows it to wrap its tail around and hold on to the seaweed. The seahorse has adapted in the shallow waters with seaweed and coral to hang onto when stormy weather arrives. It has a long circular snout to catch its prey. It also has a swim bladder that lets it control its buoyancy. It is able to camouflage by changing colour to match its surroundings. It has mobile eyes which can look in two different directions at once so it can look out for predators and prey without moving its body.
another word for prey is food
The long snout of the seahorse allows it to suck up prey more effectively by creating suction. This helps the seahorse catch small crustaceans and other tiny organisms which make up its diet. Additionally, the snout aids in camouflage by disguising the seahorse among seagrass or coral reefs.
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
A male seahorse is a male seahorse.
A seahorse isn't a placental mammal; it's a type of fish, genus hippocampus. Seahorses are part of the same order as pipefish, Syngnathiformes. The seahorse's head is shaped like that of a horse.Seahorse can, however, be another name for walrus, which is a placental mammal.The hippopotamus was also called a seahorse during the 1800s.
