Sea Dragons
This is a sea dragon:
Isn't it beautiful? I hadn't heard of sea dragons before this evening, and I'm now hooked. I now know sea dragons are 30cm long, related to sea horses, live off the coast of southern Australia, and come in two types: weedy and leafy. These somewhat meek adjectives fail to do the creatures justice:
And do you know what they do in their mating ritual? They dance. Honest to goodness - there's video. And the babies are excessively cute.
If I'm wrong about this whole religion thing and it turns out Buddhism is true, I'll be a sea dragon, please.

I think they are wonderful I hadn’t heard of them before either they are mesmerising. I have always liked sea horses, but these are much more graceful.

Sea dragons are really amazing. I just saw the ones at the Shedd Aquarium again this weekend.

I heard about this creature on TV last night. I searched it here in the net, and yes, they are very gorgeous. I haven’t seen a creature as beautiful as this. The males carry the eggs until it hatches and they eat planktons and mysids.
