Can seahorses
make sounds?
Seahorses make noises that sound like small clicks or pops to our ears. They
do this by moving two parts of their skull against each other during feeding
and courtship. We don't know if they use these clicks to communicate, but
they seem more obvious during mating and courtship displays. Seahorses will
swim in patterns like dances, which probably serves as some form of
communication with mates or other animals. Seahorses may also communicate
through color changes. Within seconds, many seahorses can brighten or darken
their colors, possibly helping them communicate health, interest,
recognition or moods.
