The Seahorse — Vintage Natural History Print

PLATE 03 — Hippocampus. A miniature horse moving through a garden beneath the sea. The seahorse's prehensile tail grips underwater vegetation; its bony plates protect the body; and the male carries developing embryos in a brood pouch — one of the natural world's most remarkable reproductive adaptations. Botanical companions from the aquatic world: eelgrass (Zostera marina), Neptune Grass (Posidonia oceanica), White Water Lily and Water Forget-me-not. Labels: brood pouch, prehensile tail, dorsal fin, snout, eye. The specimen note: the male brood pouch is a remarkable reproductive adaptation.
