At the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, this seahorse swims to the wharf pilings to feed on smaller animals and free-floating plankton. The seahorse has anchored its tail in the seaweed for stability while feeding. Bay seahorses are adept at camouflaging their skin color, and they capture their unsuspecting prey by ambush. Seahorses are monogamous creatures, and couples regularly perform a unique dance to reinforce their bond. When a partner dies, the other is slow to find another mate. The male seahorse becomes pregnant and gives birth to the young, up to a thousand young seahorses at a time, although very few survive to adulthood. 16'' x 20''.
