Leafy Sea Dragons Are Like Seahorses On Steroids

Seahorses are cool. They are a strange type of fish with a head that looks like it could belong to a horse. The males, rather than the females, are the ones to get pregnant, and they can have brilliant designs that rival many land creatures.

Leafy sea dragons are even cooler. They live off the coast of Australia and are covered with appendages that look like drifting seaweed. This appearance is natural camouflage, as many would-be predators are much less interested in seaweed than they are in a nice, meaty snack.
