Sea Horse

The sea Horse is a living creature that lives under the sea.  It Is actually a fish!!  Sea horses look different from most fish but they have the same body skeleton.  They breathe with gills and they are cold- blooded.
The seahorse's body is covered by amour made out of bony sections.  The seahorse has a horse-like head and a tail like a monkey's tail.  The tip of  the tail curls and holds onto things.  Seahorses have a long narrow snout  to help them suck up tiny animals living in the coral reef.
