What sea-creature looks like a piece from a chess set? This is the seahorse which looks like the knight from a chess set. This oddity of nature spends much of its time with its tail wrapped around seaweed from where it snaps up any creature small enough to enter its mouth. Its eyes are on turrets and move independently. It swims in a vertical position, while propelling itself along by rapid movements of the dorsal fin which may oscillate up to thirty five times a second, giving it the impression of a revolving propeller. The male carries the babies in a pouch deposited there by the female. There are twenty known species of seahorse, half of them living in the Indo-Australasian region. The others live off the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America. For Details
