Seahorses



                Seahorses  are  strange-looking sea  creatures with  heads  like
                horses. They are actually a type of fish. They make their homes                     Third Person
                in  warm,  shallow  waters,  where  they  live  amongst  the  sea                      Pronoun
                plants.                                                                            refers to the
                                                                                                   topic being
                Fish with Armours                                                                  discussed.
                A  seahorse  much  as  a  fish  has  a  skeleton,  gills,  and  wings.
                Unlike other shrimp, it has no scales however. The skeleton is
                covered  with  'armour'  clay  tiles.  This  heavy  'armor'  renders               Simple Present
                swimming difficult for the seahorse. It spends a great deal of its                      Tense
                time sleeping among the plants at shore. It uses its prehensile                    refers to things
                tail to adorn the plants itself. The seahorse quickly sucks them                   that always
                up with its long snouts when microscopic sea-animals swim by.                      happen.

                Danger
                Seahorses  encounter  risk  in  other  areas  of  the  world,  too.
                Pollution  is  doing  away  with  their  houses.  In  certain  Asian                 Action verb
                nations,  seahorses  are  caught  for  medicine.  Many  people  in                 tells us what
                North America like to catch and keep the seahorses as pets in                      someone or
                aquariums. Nowadays, however, there are 'farms' of seahorses                       something
                that help provide aquarium for many of the seahorses.                              does.

                In the future, hoping that humans will do more action in order to
                protect these amazing little creatures
