I am a tiny creature in the ocean, no more than 30 centimeters long, and the small ones are only 5 centimeters, but because of the shape of the head like a horse, people call us seahorses.
Don't look at us like horses, but instead of flying on all fours, we are slow to move and act lazily in the water. We often use our tails to hook the floating algae in the ocean and go with the flow, even if we are very hungry, we are too lazy to move, and we can even have a hundred days of hunger in our short lives.
However, don't underestimate us, when we really want to eat, we are also very picky, focusing on those bridal-footed creatures who are quick to move and good at hiding. Don't look at this little radial creature's brave and agile leap can be more than 500 times its length, but it is difficult to escape the mouth of my generation. Let me tell you this secret, although the momentum of our swimming comes from the more than 70 spiny strokes of the tail every second, the water streaks near our mouth and nose are almost motionless, and when the food reaches the mouth, as long as we take a big bite, it takes no effort, and the winning rate is nine times out of ten.
In fact, what our female surnames boast the most is that our husbands, they are the greatest fathers in the world, and all the offspring of our class are carried out by these masters. We just lay the eggs in their nursery bags, and every day of the breeding period from May to September of that year, they hold up the big belly of the child.
Since the energy consumption of giving birth is very large, they must constantly prey on and replenish their physical strength and energy. The children need to stay in his father's nursery bag for as many as fifty or sixty days, and then more than 2,000 offspring will spew out of his bag, and every year they will give birth to thousands of children for me, the mother.
What a lot! How magnificent! How great!
It is precisely because the male seahorse has the characteristics of high reproductive rate, and it also has the miraculous effect of tonifying kidneys and aphrodisiacs in human Traditional Chinese medicine.
