? Seahorses belong to fish. They live in tropical oceans. They are small marine organisms. They belong to Osteichthyes in taxonomy. Because they breathe with gills and have spines and dorsal, pectoral and caudal fins, they conform to all the characteristics of fish. Although they have fins, their heads are at right angles to their bodies, and their heads are like horse heads, so they are called seahorses. They like to live in corals or reefs, and because they are not good at swimming, they need to catch corals or seaweeds with their tails to fix them. Although they are called seahorses, they generally live at the junction of rivers and seas, and can even survive in fresh water.
