Did you know that sea horse babies are born from their fathers, not their mothers? Or that sea horses can change colors to hide? They even grow spiny bits of skin to help them blend in with their surroundings. Unfortunately, this amazing animal is at risk. Every year, humans catch millions of sea horses to make into medicines and souvenirs--and to keep as pets. How can we help sea horses survive? Join author Sally M. Walker as she explores the complex world of the sea horse in a vibrant text illustrated with full-color photographs. You'll spot a sea horse hiding in a coral reef, learn just how tiny a baby sea horse is, and visit a village in the Philippines where people are working to help both sea horses and themselves.
