POINT ROBERTS, WA, Delta, B.C. June 24, 2004 – www.ISeaHorses.com reports on the world of seahorses, tiny creatures that have been the subject of myth and magic for many years. Want to know why we love them?

Males give birth in the seahorse kingdom. This tradition has been in existence for as long as the seahorse has been thought to exist (which is estimated at around 40 million years!).

According to the Marine Conservation Society, on the web at: www.mcsuk.org/marineworld/seahorse.htm, seahorses feed mainly on “small crustaceans such as mysid shrimps, but also on fish fry and other plankton.”

If you’re curious like we are at I Sea Horses! this month, we have begun swimming through the web looking for great resources and links to information on our favorite member of the Hippocampus family! Please feel free to write us and let us what your favorite site is and we may just feature it in one of our profiles! This month, we feature:
