Did You Know?<\/h2>\n

• The Pipefish is related to another cute, aquatic animals – the Seahorse (they are in the same family)<\/li>\n
• This sea creature received their name as a result of their long, straight snout, which slightly resembles a pipe<\/li>\n
• Much like the Seahorse, it is the male that gets stuck with most of the parenting and child raising (I know, you wish it were like this for humans as well)<\/li>\n
• The Pipefish has the ability to move each of their eyeballs…separately. Yes, one at a time – how cool\/creepy is this?!?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  What in the World is a Pipefish<\/h2>\n

  As mentioned the Pipefish is in the same family as the beloved Seahorse. In fact the Pipefish looks like a straightened Seahorse with a dorsal fin. Yes, that’s right this cute, little sea creature actually has a fin. Interestingly enough, this peculiar fin is often the only thing that keeps the Pipefish from being an inanimate object. Who would have thought that such a simple dorsal fin would be responsible for 100% of the movement capabilities. With that said, some individual species also have a highly developed caudal fin, which takes the swimming abilities of the Pipefish to the next level.<\/p>\n
