Seahorses are a type of fish, but they are the only fish that swim upright. Seahorse is a relatively small fish, there are many large organisms in the ocean may threaten the life of seahorse. From the appearance point of view, the hippocampus is also fragile, looks relatively weak. However, seahorses did not die out, but survived for many years, precisely because they also have a means of defense against enemies. For example, seahorses have a strong camouflage ability, with which they can escape the attack of some enemies. In addition, the hippocampus also has a relatively hard bone plate, which can also defend against some enemies.
As mentioned above, although seahorses look weak and small, they also have some young means to defend against enemies and protect themselves, so that they can survive in the ocean where there are more enemies.
One of the more effective means of defending against the enemy is to camouflage oneself. For example, their tails are curly and spiral, and they can bend at will. With the help of their tails, seahorses can wrap their bodies around a large area of dense algae, which makes them look like part of a plant. This camouflage ability is very strong and can deceive more than one enemy. Another effective tool is their hard shell, their bony plates, which cover their whole body and make their enemies give up because they are not easy to eat.
