Sea Creature of the Week

"The Sea Creature of the Week" 

The Leafy Seadragon

Phycodurus eques



To recognize the fall weather, changing of the temperature, and the falling of the leaves, let's look at a cool sea creature called the leafy seadragon. This animal is found  along the southern and western coasts of Australia and you can guess where it gets its name from. Yep! The leaf-like structures hanging off of its body! And did I mention these animals are in the same fish family as sea horses?!?! Yessir! These animals and sea horses are fish!!! Cool, huh? I know my husband finds these animals really unique looking....what about you? Check out the pics below!
