Meet ‘Snuffleupagus,’ a newfound #fish sporting shaggy #camouflage
Species has a thick coat that mimics colorful #coral
The woolly, reddish fish is a variety of ghost #pipefish, camouflaged fishes related to #seahorses. Species has a striking resemblance to Mr. Snuffleupagus, Big Bird’s shaggy, mammothlike friend on Sesame Street. The fish — no longer than a matchstick — evolved to move like floating algal, drifting passively back and forth

It's #FathersDay!
‘"Nursing Fathers": A Humorous Commentary,’ The Sphere, April 1927. It depicts good king penguin and seahorse dads. The seahorse fry are being eaten by a jellyfish, though. Not sure what's humorous about that, but it's nice that male parenting in nature was celebrated in 1927 - we could do with more of that today. 🌈🐧

📰 WILDLIFE WEDNESDAY
🌍 Mozambique: A community-led effort to stop devastating seahorse harvesting has been successful.
💰 The effort had to overcome a high economic motivation to pull and dry the regulated fish illegally for the black market. The rate of extraction was projected to eliminate all seahorses within a decade.
🤿 The solution involved creating an alternative: community-led, seahorse-focused ecotourism. Former extractors now take visitors on easy, low-impact snorkeling tours through seagrass.
💪 The community protects the seahorses now as central to their livelihood.

All-around very cool story and well worth the read. 💛
#Nuns & #NativeWomen from the #indigenous #Shinnecook tribe in #NewYork have started a #kelp #farm to help remove #carbon & #nitrogen / #nitrates #pollution from their #ocean waters.
After two years, there are #scallops, #clams, #SeaHorses, and other #MarineLife not seen in years, sheltering the kelp lines.
It's not just an #environmental success story, but of #friendship, #allyship, & support as well. 💪

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐣🧬 Male #seahorses carry and deliver their young, but the process is even more complex than it looks. New #research indicates their brood pouch works similarly to a placenta, providing nutrients through specific genetic instructions.
When it’s time for birth, the father uses skeletal muscles to physically flush seawater through the pouch, releasing hundreds or even thousands of tiny, fully formed seahorses!

How #male #seahorses tap into their mothering side
“#Evolution of the brooding pouch was not cut from whole cloth de novo but was built like a quilt with different patches of genes and cells that function the same way in different animals,” says Bill Cresko, an evolutionary geneticist at Univ of Oregon who was not involved in study. “It’s way cool.”
Finding helps explain how #pregnancy could have evolved more than 150 times in animals, albeit almost exclusively in females

"In women and other pregnant animals, female hormones stimulate reproductive tissue to form a womb and placenta. In these seahorses, a male hormone underlies “motherhood,” researchers report November 11 in Nature Ecology and Evolution."

@GreyShuck
#Conservationists working to protect a population of #seahorses off the #Dorsetcoast have counted the highest number of the creatures since the Covid pandemic.The absence of boats and people in Studland Bay during lockdown meant seahorse numbers peaked in 2020 but quickly diminished when restrictions were eased.

Close to five million smuggled seahorses worth an estimated CAD$29 million were seized by authorities over a 10-year span, according to a new study that warns the scale of the trade is far larger than current data suggest. Dried seahorses are widely used in traditional medicine.
