Absolutely
captivating creatures, seahorses seem like
a product of myth and imagination rather
than of nature. They are small, elusive,
and are named for their heads, which are
shaped like miniature ponies with tiny
snouts. They swim slowly upright by
rapidly fanning their delicate dorsal fin,
coil their tails to anchor themselves in a
drift, and spend days in a dancing
courtship. Afterward, it is the male who
carries the female’s eggs in his pouch and
hatches the young. Seahorses are found
worldwide, and they are highly sensitive
to environmental destruction and
disturbance, making them the flagship
species for shallow-water habitat
conservation. They are as ecologically
important as they are beautiful.
Seahorses celebrates the remarkable
variety of seahorse species as well as
their exquisiteness. 57 species, including
seadragons and pipefish, are presented in
lush, life-size photographs alongside
descriptive drawings, and each entry
includes detailed and up-to-date
information on natural history and
conservation. Sara Lourie, a foremost
expert on seahorse taxonomy, presents
captivating stories of species that range
from less than an inch to over a foot in
height, while highlighting recent
discoveries and ecological concerns.
Accessibly written, but comprehensive in
scope, this book will be a stunning and
invaluable reference on seahorse
evolution, biology, habitat, and behavior.
Masters of camouflage and rarely seen,
seahorses continue to be a fascinating
subject of active research. This visually
rich and informative book is certain to
become the authoritative guide to these
charming and unusual wonders of the sea,
beloved at aquariums the world over..
