What do seahorses feel like?
Chicken.
But seriously...
Though seahorses are a type of fish, they feel nothing like their scaly
relatives. With a tough layer of skin stretched over bony rings, seahorses
feel like they are covered in plates of armor. They lack scales, and often
the bony rings stick out in areas, forming spines for protection. Some
seahorses can grow skin filaments that are long and leafy to resemble the
seaweed, sponges or corals in their habitat. With these additions,
seahorses can look and feel more like their surroundings. |
