Actinopterygii, order is Syngnathiformes, family is Sygnathifoms, genus Hippocampus, and the Common Seahorse species is kuda. The Common seahorse has a horse like head and a trunk, and it comes in many different colors. One of its structural adaptations is that it can change colors to blend in with it’s surroundings. A behavioral adaptation is that the Common Seahorse’s tail acts like an anchor. A functional adaptation is that the male seahorse has a pouch instead of the female. They feed on anything that moves and they fear penguins, most fish, and humans. A fun fact is that they are poor swimmers.
