In celebration of Father’s Day, the “World’s Best Dad” title could go to the male seahorse, which carries his mate’s eggs until they hatch from a pouch on his body. After about two weeks, fully developed tiny seahorses emerge ready to take on the world. Many people are familiar with seahorses — a type of fish known for its horse-shaped head and curled tail — but are often fascinated to learn that one seahorse species lives in Delaware Bay. The lined seahorse, which usually grows to about 5 or 6 inches long, is found from Nova Scotia to Venezuela. They like to eat small crustaceans or other animals that fit in their long, toothless snout. But they’re hard to spot. Seahorses use their supreme camouflage abilities to hide among pier pilings or their tails to cling to blades of seagrass.
