 Pygmy Seahorses

There are seven different species of pygmy seahorses. Pygmy seahorses are 2cm in size being one of the smallest in the world. Their scientific name is Hippocampus Bargibanti. The can be found in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean.

Camouflage is one of pygmy seahorses specialities. They live in sea fan coral that comes in the colours purple and orange. The pygmy seahorses change colours to match the coral and they grow tubercies (bumps) that make them change colours to match the colour of the coral that they first land on.

Pygmy seahorses do a courtship dance to create the baby pygmy seahorses. When they are first born they are dark brown, and they come out of the fathers brood pouch.

Pygmy seahorses eat small crustaceans. And they are a group of crabs, lobsters, shrimps ETC. Their predators are large fish and sharks that live in the very big ocean.

The coral reef is getting destroyed because of so much temperature changing, fishing nets, acidification and more. This is so important because some of the pygmy seahorses live there and it is dying.

The Holiday trip at Samoa

THE HOLIDAY TRIP TO SAMOA

For the weekend me and my family went on a holiday to Samoa and today was our last day in Samoa. We went to the beach and the water was very cold but then it got warmer. Then we hopped out of the water and we went and got some food to eat. 

After me and my siblings finished eating we decided to sun bathe but my little sister wanted to go back in the water but my parents said she needs to rest for a little while until she goes back in the water so she was screaming and throwing a huge fit. But all of us know what our little sister Sophie loves making most is YouTube videos so we started to make one and it was all about our weekend so far in Samoa and our Mum Channelle said "That is a great idea Apricot"  "Why thank you Mother" said Apricot. After we finished making the YouTube video. 

We went back in the water but our parents didn't know so it was kind of risky then after about an hour and a half. 

Me and my siblings got out of the water and went and got our towels from the front desk. Then we went back to where our parents were sitting but they weren't there and after that I panicked but I told my siblings not to panic so after that we started to look everywhere but they were no where to be seen so after we gave up and went back to the room. But when we opened the room door we came to a surprise our parents were asleep on the beds.
