A fascinating journey with the sea creature that has captured human imagination for thousands of years Poseidon's Steed trails the seahorse through secluded waters across the globe in a kaleidoscopic history that mirrors man's centuries-old fascination with the animal, sweeping from the reefs of Indonesia, through the back streets of Hong Kong, and back in time to ancient Greece and Rome. Over time, seahorses have surfaced in some unlikely places. We see them immortalized in the decorative arts; in tribal folklore, literature, and ancient myth; and even on the pages of the earliest medical texts, prescribed to treat everything from skin complaints to baldness to flagging libido. Marine biologist Helen Scales eloquently shows that seahorses are indeed fish, though scientists have long puzzled over their exotic anatomy, and their very strange sex lives — male seahorses are the only males in the animal world that experience childbirth! Our first seahorse imaginings appeared six thousand years ago on cave walls in Australia. The ancient Greeks called the seahorse hippocampus (half-horse, half-fish) and sent it galloping through the oceans of mythology, pulling the sea god Poseidon's golden chariot. The seahorse has even been the center of a modern-day international art scandal: A two-thousand-year-old winged seahorse brooch was plundered by Turkish tomb raiders and sold to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. A book that is as charming as the seahorse itself, Poseidon's Steed brings to life an aquatic treasure. Seahorses lead quiet lives, tucked away out of sight on the seafloor. It is rare to catch a glimpse of a seahorse in its natural habitat. But even if few have seen one live, these exotic, seemingly prehistoric creatures exist quite vividly in our imaginations and they have mesmerized scientists, artists, and storytellers throughout time with their otherworldly rarity. Poseidon's Steed is a sweeping journey that takes us from the coral reefs and seagrass meadows of Indonesia where many seahorses makes their natural habitat to the back streets of Hong Kong where a thriving black market seahorse trade is concealed. Throughout history, seahorses have surfaced in some unexpected places and Scales also follows the seahorse back in time, from our most rudimentary seahorse imaginings six thousand years ago on cave walls in Australia, to the myths of ancient Greece. Scientists have long puzzled over seahorses' unusual anatomy and their very strange sex lives. And male seahorses are the only males in the animal world that experience childbirth! Seahorses are not what scientists call a "keystone" species. They rely on a healthy ocean to survive, but the marine ecosystem does not rely on them. But their delicate beauty reminds us that we rely on the seas not only to fill our dinner plates, but also to feed our imaginations.

Seahorses are instantly recognisable and have been a part of our culture for millennia, yet we still know very little about these enigmatic creatures. Steve Trewhella and Julie Hatcher have spent hundreds of hours in British waters observing native seahorses, witnessing at first hand how they behave in the wild, and how they interact with the other plants and animals in their underwater realm. With stunning photography, In the Company of Seahorses paints a rich picture of a mysterious world amongst swaying seagrass and colourful seaweeds. The accompanying text is packed with personal anecdotes describing the authors’ journey of discovery, illustrating for the first time the secretive lives of these elusive animals in British waters. By sharing one couple’s passion for an entrancing ocean icon, this book aims to inspire, inform and create a better understanding of the seahorse and its often vulnerable habitats around the British coastline.

Seahorses are extraordinary creatures. They swim upright and spend days in dancing courtship. They are small, shy and have heads shaped like miniature ponies. And the male carries the female’s eggs in his pouch and ‘births’ the young. Found worldwide, they are sensitive to environmental disruption and are an obvious flagship group for conservation. Seahorses unveils every species, including the seadragons and pipefish that share the Syngnathidae family. Each of the 47 entries incorporates a photograph and description, so you can admire their beauty as you learn about their ecological importance.

The book is aimed primarily at the aquarist who is just starting out with seahorses, although more experienced keepers will still find something of interest. Seahorses are an exceptional and fascinating fish that live in coastal areas round most of the world. Only a few years ago keeping seahorses was not widely encouraged due mainly to the difficulty in feeding wild caught specimens as they would not eat frozen foods. Wild caught seahorses, being more used to hunting in the wild for natural live food, know nothing about eating dead, frozen foods! However more recently, keeping seahorse in an aquarium has been made easier due to widespread captive breeding which has played an enormous role in making it possible to keep seahorses at home. You can now set up a successful seahorse aquarium at home and even breed them in the aquarium environment. All you need is the right equipment and advice to set you on the path to success. Contained within this book is everything you need to know to you get started in this fascinating hobby. From buying your first seahorses, the equipment and setting it up, to feeding, routine maintenance and dealing with any potential health issues. As several of the species will breed readily in the aquarium there is a detailed chapter on breeding and raising seahorses. It is important to understand something about the breeding process in order to be prepared and to fully understand the commitment required. You will also find information related to the near desperate plight of the seahorse in the wild, which could become extinct in the next 20 to 30 years in some parts of the World, unless major changes are brought into effect! Championing their fight for survival are two charitable organisations in the UK and Ireland. I'm sure you will enjoy reading this book and have many happy, problem free years keeping and caring for these fascinating creatures.

A previously unknown species of seahorse is discovered by oceanologist Drew Boone and his daughter, Karissa, in the small New England town of Seaside Cove. Karissa has been withdrawn and troubled since her parents' divorce, and is spending the summer with her father. Karissa becomes the first kid to make contact with Star, a sea creature that is a unique hybrid of seahorse and normal horse. Her father believes Star is the result of seismic activity near an offshore oil drilling platform. Karissa is brought out of her shell by her friendship with Star and becomes the envy of the other children. Before long, other seahorses join Star on land, coming from an underwater passage at Seahorse Cove. All the kids claim their own seahorse as a family pet. One day, Martin Thompson, owner of the local offshore drilling site, sees a child riding his seahorse in the ocean. Thompson tracks down all the seahorses, confiscating them as his own property. He puts the seahorses in glass tanks and plans to open a theme park. The children are heartbroken as are the seahorses. Karissa organizes a peaceful protest of the theme park. What happens next is truly unbelievable. About the Author: Randy James White lives in Anaheim, California. "This story came to me as a dream. I saw a little girl on a beach stroking the muzzle of a creature that looked to be a hybrid of a Shetland pony and a seahorse. I was going through a divorce myself at the time. A lot of the book is about how children of divorce can become disconnected from their parents." Publisher's website: http: //www.sbpra.com/RandyJamesWhite
