The Secret Lives of Seahorses

With heads like horses, tails like monkeys and pouches like kangaroos, these fascinating fishes are anything but ordinary.


We’ve got more than 15 species of seahorses and their kin—one of the nation’s largest collections of these charismatic animals.

Meander through four multimedia galleries and discover how these shy and secretive animals grow up, attract mates and give birth—this is the only family in the animal kingdom in which the males get pregnant!

Learn how you can help save seahorses and the vulnerable marine habitats they call home.
