This seahorse is mostly visible in Asia. Very small, it can be hard to find.
However, if you know which gorgonians to look for (muricella plectana and muricella paraplectana) and that you take your time to find it, this shouldn't be a problem!
This hippocampus is carnivorous and feeds on small crustaceans.
It is also ovoviparous and they are the males that incubate the eggs, not the females.
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
