Ages 6 to 12 years. The life cycle of this fascinating fish is unique in many ways. Female sea horses transfer eggs to male sea horses and males carry the developing embryos inside their bodies. In this book children will learn about the stages of development sea horses undergo as they grow into adults. Beautiful photographs and detailed illustrations accompany easy-to-read text. Children will also find out about: where sea horses live o how the male sea horses become "pregnant"; the growth and development inside an egg; how colts survive in the ocean; dangers to sea horses from pollution and the destruction of coral reefs.
