In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Kirsty-Jo Muddiman, representative for The Seahorse Trust and coordinator of the Malta Seahorse Project.

Who knew that the seahorse is as fancy inside as out! This might be the most surprising little animal we have covered yet, and that’s saying A LOT.

Take a listen to all the fun facts on seahorse morphology and biology and let us know which attribute is most surprising to you!

Our big question is why hasn’t Disney or Pixar not created an animated film featuring this amazing creature that not only looks like a horse/fish/chameleon, but performs one of the most romantic mating dances OF ALL TIME.

Thanks so much to Kirsty-Jo for this delightful conversation and introducing us to the stoic, romantic, vulnerable apex predator that is the seahorse.

Fun Facts: The latin for seahorse is Hippocampus meaning “horse caterpillar.”

And baby seahorses are called “fry.”
