Short-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus hippocampus) from Alwin Kruijt on Vimeo.
From Ecomare in The Netherlands:
Last Sunday, a short-snouted seahorse was found on the beach near beach pole 15 on Texel island, and brought to Ecomare.
Seahorses are rare in the Dutch North Sea.
Two species occur here: common seahorse (Hippocampus ramulosus) and short-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus hippocampus).
Gene “archaeology” sheds light on male pregnancy:
A gene might help explain why males get pregnant
among members of the seahorse family, according to
biologists.
