Seahorse

Size and Color: Although seahorses can come in many different colors, they’re predominantly brown, tan, white, orange, and, in the case of this figurine, a sunny yellow. 5 inches tall and 1.75 inches wide, this seahorse is about as tall as a soda can and about as wide as the length of a ball point pen cap.

Found in shallow tropical and temperate waters all around the world, seahorses are a tiny type of marine fish of which there are over 50 known species. Their name comes from the shape of their head and neck, which is reminiscent of a horse and unique for an aquatic creature.
