Seahorse

The wooden bookmark with the plastic seahorse from Portugal.



Seahorse differ from other fish, it has a head like a horse, a tail like a monkey, a pouch like a kangaroo and the eyes resemble a chameleon's.

Seahorses have a single mate for life. Every morning, they come together, dance, change their color, twirl around with linked tails and then separate for the rest of the day. Isn't this romantic?;) While mating, seahorses utter musical sounds. Mating is usually done under a full moon.
Seahorses are the only animals in the entire animal kingdom in which the male has babies. The female seahorse deposits the eggs into the male's small pouch, these eggs are then fertilized by the male.
