The images in this section show seahorses from different parts of the world. Farther down the page, you will find the Red Sea species you are coloring.

THERE ARE MORE THAN 45 SPECIES OF SEAHORSES AROUND THE WORLD.

WHERE
THEY
LIVE

The Jayakari seahorse inhabits shallow waters in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman, especially areas with corals, sponges, and seagrass meadows where it can camouflage itself among the colors of the seafloor.

Es una especie nativa del Mar Rojo y el océano Índico occidental, y no se encuentra en otras regiones del mundo.

WATCH HOW SEAHORSES ARE BORN!

Small in size, reaching up to 14 centimeters in length.

A rigid body covered in bony plates, with no scales.

A tubular snout used to suck in tiny crustaceans and plankton.

The male has a brood pouch beneath his tail, where he receives the female's eggs.

They swim upright, propelled by a tiny dorsal fin that beats up to 35 times per second.

DID YOU KNOW?

•Es el único animal del planeta en el que el macho se embaraza: la hembra deposita los huevos en su bolsa y él los fecunda, oxigena y nutre hasta el nacimiento.

•Seahorses can move each eye independently, like chameleons. This allows them to look in two directions at once to detect prey and predators.

•Despite their fragile appearance, they are efficient hunters, drawing in their prey with extraordinary precision.

•Pairs recognize one another and reinforce their bond by dancing each morning: they change color, entwine their tails, and turn in sync.

Because the seahorse reminds us that many of the rules through which we understand the world exist only in our minds. We only need to observe nature to discover that there are always other ways to live, care, and bring forth life.

This section brings together people whose way of seeing inspires us. Although the images on this page were selected as references to accompany the experience, we wanted to include the work of someone who, from her own perspective, brings us closer to the ocean in a real way.

The featured image shows the same species you are coloring on this page and was captured by Rasaalika Singhania in the Red Sea.
