The camouflage sea creature
Madison Wahler
Introduction
Habitat
The coral reef creature is found in many places around the world. They are in the latitudes of 52 degrees north and 45 degrees south. Many of these endangered creatures are found in mangroves and sea grass beds. In addition, they are found in estuaries. In their coastal habitat such as the pacific seahorse may become extinct because of fishing and medicine. If this keeps going on the seahorse population may become wiped out. Without a doubt, you can see that these ocean animals live in a really lively community.
Diet
The seahorse is a very small sea animal but it can eats a lot and lots of fish. The seahorses favorite kind of fish is tiny fish. It also eats crustaceans and rays. But that's not all in its diet. They also eat shrimp, plankton, and algae. When the seahorse is born their as mini as 2 cm to 35 cm and eat tiny fish from when they are born to the adulthood stage. They keep their diet the same since when they are born to when they die. Obviously, you can conclude that even though they are little, Sea Horses eat lots of things.
Reproduction
Close your eyes and imagine little, baby Sea Horses swimming with their parents. An extraordinary thing about a seahorse is that the male seahorse gives birth to the babies instead of the female seahorse.These slow moving creatures breed frequently, and even though 100-1000 babies are born in one seahorse only 0.5 percent make it to adulthood. Did you know that the process of mating takes as long as 7-8 weeks. Another fascinating fact is that right when the babies are born the male seahorse fertilizes them.The courtship of the seahorse helps transfer the eggs to the male. It then gets a visit from the female seahorse every morning in the 2-4 weeks of the gestation period. Surely, these underwater organisms have a unique way of reproducing.
conclusion
Seahorses are very unique in their own way, with their long snout and curly tail. They have rough skin and are not smooth but they look very interesting They are being hunted down and we are losing many of them. So it is very important to keep them safe because if we don’t they may become extinct. Hopefully since I stated their habitat, reproduction, and diet facts you will know or realize how important these sea creatures are. Maybe one day we won’t have to worry about them becoming extinct.

The history of kangaroo meat:
Kangaroo meat was legalized for human consumption in South Australia in 1980, and in all other Australian states in 1993. Kangaroo was once limited in availability, although eating kangaroo in Australia is becoming more popular. However, only 14.5% of Australians were reported in 2008 as eating kangaroo meat at least four times per year.

poem
Swims round in the ocean
Eats tiny fish and rays
A creature that moves it’s fin 30-70 times per second
Has a variety of different colors
Over times grows from 2 cm - 35 cm
Reefs are the sea horses habitat
Sea horses have the ability to blend in to hide
Every morning in the 2-4 weeks of the male’s gestation period the female visits every morning
