8、Its not hard to guess. The top half of this fish looks like a small horse. But looking at the sea horses tail, you might think “sea monkey”is a better name. Then theres the sea horses pouch (袋). “Sea kangaroo” might also be a good name for this fish.Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the
9、world. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea. They can also change colors to match their surroundings (环境). A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding (缠绕) its tail around a plant. It feeds on live food, such as small shrimp. For

How does this happen? Baby sea horses start out as eggs, which come
